Healthcare software solutions provider Agilio Software has acquired Runcorn-based Patient Plan Direct (PPD), a specialist dental membership plan provider.

The acquisition brings together Agilio’s dental compliance, workforce and marketing software with PPD’s expertise in designing and managing practice-branded dental membership plans, helping practices build recurring income and strengthen patient relationships.

PPD works with independent practices, regional groups and dental service organisations across the UK.

The business provides end-to-end support from plan design and pricing to marketing, onboarding and day-to-day administration for hundreds of thousands of patients.

Yorkshire HealthTech Agilio, which is headquartered in Sheffield, said the combination creates a more integrated platform.
