What One Health Group does

One Health Group PLC is a Sheffield-headquartered, AIM-listed independent healthcare provider founded in 2004 that delivers free NHS-funded elective surgical care to patients referred through the NHS e-Referral system. The company's clinical offering spans five specialties — orthopaedics, spine, general surgery, gynaecology, and urology — delivered across a network of more than 40 outpatient clinic locations spanning South Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, West Yorkshire, the Midlands, North Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Hull, with surgical procedures performed at partner independent sector hospitals including Nuffield Health, Circle Health Group, Spire Healthcare, and BMI facilities. Core operational technology is the NHS e-Referral electronic referral and booking platform, layered on a clinician network of approximately 140 NHS-trained consultant surgeons and anaesthetists (88 actively engaged) and a Care Quality Commission-accredited clinical governance framework.

The business model is contract-based and 100% NHS-funded, with the company paid by NHS Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) for completed consultations and surgical procedures. Two anchor five-year contracts with Lincolnshire ICB and South Yorkshire ICB (acting as lead commissioner for Derby, Derbyshire, and West Yorkshire ICBs), effective from April 2024, lock in coverage of approximately 4,000 new patients and 2,000 surgical procedures per year and provide earnings visibility through April 2029. The company also holds a renewed long-standing partnership with Sheffield Teaching Hospital. Revenue is recognized on a transaction-fee basis per patient episode, with no out-of-pocket cost to NHS patients. In FY26 (year to March 2026), One Health reported revenue of £32 million, up 13% year-over-year, treating 18,931 new NHS patient referrals, 50,774 consultations, and 8,113 surgical procedures with 99.5% inpatient satisfaction.

One Health completed its AIM IPO on 20 March 2025 following a prior AQSE listing. Capital is being deployed into a £8-9 million purpose-built surgical hub in Scunthorpe (Lincolnshire), targeted to open in late summer 2026, representing a strategic shift from the asset-light partner-hospital model toward owned surgical capacity. The company also expanded urology as a new service line, opened three new outreach clinics, grew its consultant base by 10%, and appointed a new CFO (Heather Craven) and commercial manager (Joe Hopwood) during 2026 to support continued scaling.

Direct peers

• Practice Plus Group: Independent-sector provider of NHS treatment centres, surgical hubs, and urgent care services across the UK. Directly comparable in delivering NHS-funded elective surgery, including orthopaedics, and is a partner (Barlborough) for One Health while also competing for ICB contracts.
• Circle Health Group: Independent hospital operator (acquired BMI Healthcare) running a national network of hospitals and treatment centres that perform NHS-funded elective surgery. Operates several of the partner hospitals used by One Health (e.g., Circle Lincoln, Huddersfield, Thornbury, Meriden) and competes for the same NHS ICB commissioning work.
• Totally plc: AIM-listed provider of NHS urgent care, planned care, and community health services. Overlaps with One Health in NHS-contracted elective/planned care delivery and shares a similar small-cap, public-market profile.
• Spire Healthcare Group: LSE-listed private hospital group that operates a network of hospitals delivering both NHS-funded and private elective surgical care. Direct competitor for NHS ICB contracts and Patient Choice referrals across the same specialties One Health covers.

Broad incumbents

• HCA Healthcare UK: UK arm of HCA Healthcare, a leading private hospital group with flagship London facilities and a growing NHS-partnered footprint. A broader incumbent offering overlapping surgical specialties, including orthopaedics and spinal care.
• Nuffield Health: UK's largest healthcare charity, operating a national network of private hospitals that deliver NHS-funded elective care alongside self-pay and insured work. A direct partner of One Health for surgical capacity and a broader incumbent in the same NHS-funded elective surgery category.
• Ramsay Health Care UK: UK arm of global hospital group Ramsay Health Care, operating private hospitals that provide NHS-funded elective surgical services. Competes for ICB commissioning contracts across many of the same specialties and regions as One Health.

Emerging players

• HealthHarmonie: Independent-sector NHS provider of community-based outpatient and specialist services across the Midlands and beyond. Comparable in operating NHS-commissioned, community-located clinical services and competing for similar ICB relationships.
• Newmedica: Fast-growing UK independent-sector provider of NHS-funded ophthalmology services through community clinics and surgical centres. Comparable business model — NHS commissioning, multi-site community clinics, surgeon network — applied to a single specialty.

Others

• Independent Healthcare Providers Network (IHPN): Industry association representing independent healthcare providers in the UK; One Health is a member. Adjacent rather than competing, but indicative of the broader independent-sector ecosystem in which One Health operates and bids for NHS contracts.
