LONDON, UK, 23 September 2025, Optima Health (AIM: OPT), the UK's leading
provider of technology enabled corporate health and wellbeing solutions, today
announces the launch of Optima Health Ireland and the opening of a new
state-of-the art clinic in Dublin, following its acquisition of Cognate Health
earlier in the year. The Dublin clinic will serve as a central hub for Optima
Health Ireland's operations, complementing existing capabilities in Cork and
enhancing nationwide client support.

With operations in both the UK and Ireland and an increasing demand for
integrated occupational health and wellbeing services across borders, Optima
Health is well positioned to support organisations and their employees to
deliver innovative solutions in occupational health.

Jonathan Thomas, Chief Executive Officer of Optima Health, said: "The launch
of Optima Health Ireland is an exciting milestone in our broader growth
strategy. Ireland represents a growing and dynamic market for occupational
health services, and we are proud to build on the strong foundations of
Cognate Health. Our investment in a new Dublin base reflects our long-term
commitment to supporting Irish employers in creating healthier, more
productive workplaces."

 

Professor John Gallagher, CMO and Clinical lead at Optima Health Ireland,
said: "With Optima Health Ireland officially in operation, we can continue to
deliver the high-quality, clinician-led services that we have established,
while benefiting from the innovation and infrastructure of a larger
organisation. We're excited to be part of Optima's vision for occupational
health in Ireland."

 

Jennifer Carrol McNeil, Minister for Health in Ireland said: "This expansion,
which includes the establishment of a new state of the art clinic in Dublin,
will strengthen access to high quality occupational health and wellbeing
services in Ireland, supporting healthier communities and enabling a more
productive workforce across the country. We welcome the launch of Optima
Health Ireland."
