DPE’s OmniaMed bolts on Schofield Healthcare Media

According to Shoosmiths, the deal is valued in the region of several million pounds. One of the vendors of SHM also invested equity in OmniaMed as part of the deal.

Previous funding
DPE acquired medical conference company OmniaMed in July 2013 from MC Holding Corporation as part of a management buyout.

Company
Schofield Healthcare Media was initially launched in 2006 by Chicago-based Schofield Media Group. The latter went out of business in 2011 but London-based SHM was unaffected. The company provides medical education and conference services to healthcare professionals.

Headquartered in Munich with an additional office in the UK, OmniaMed runs medical educational conferences for doctors, nurses and healthcare practitioners. At the time of DPE's acquisition, the company hosted 150 conferences in both Germany and the UK for around 14,000 visitors.
