Sonic Clinical Services, the primary care division of diagnostics giant Sonic Healthcare, has come on board as one of two new investors in Tasmanian-based GP2U as the telehealth firm completes a series B capital raise to fund its expansion plans.

Sonic Clinical Services owns and runs the Independent Practitioner Network (IPN) of general practices as well as a number of skin clinics. Its group executive, Scott Beattie, is set to join the GP2U board, along with the second investor, medical entrepreneur Andrew Pascoe.
