OneWelbeck

What OneWelbeck does

OneWelbeck (trading as Welbeck) is a private specialist outpatient healthcare operator headquartered at 1 Welbeck Street in central London. Founded in 2015, it operates 21 dedicated specialist centres covering a broad clinical range, including Imaging and Diagnostics, Women's Health, Men's Health, Orthopaedics, Paediatrics, Digestive Health, Endocrinology, Heart Health, Lung Health, Neurology, ENT, Dermatology, Allergy, Endoscopy, and Oral and Facial Health, alongside a Health Assessments and Longevity centre. The platform is staffed by over 400 independent consultant specialists and is built around advanced diagnostics, latest treatments, and minimally invasive day-case surgery delivered from custom-built, patient-centred facilities. Founded in 2015, the company employs 251–500 people in England and operates as a for-profit private company.

The core technology stack is clinical rather than software: state-of-the-art imaging (MRI, MRA, mammography, ultrasound, Doppler, bubble echocardiogram), minimally invasive surgical suites enabling same-day discharge, and specialist procedure capability (myringotomy, intratympanic steroid injection, migraine infusion therapy such as Vyepti IV, ketamine infusions, lumps-and-bumps removal). No mobile app, public API, SDK, or AI/ML features are disclosed. Service delivery is supported by digital booking, content marketing, email newsletters, and a GP Partnership Network acting as a referral channel.

Revenue is generated through three streams: per-visit self-pay consultation, diagnostic and treatment fees; direct billing to all five major UK private medical insurers (AXA Health, Bupa, Aviva, Vitality, WPA); and corporate health screening and assessment services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based following initial consultation. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the website and inbound phone enquiries, augmented by insurer-recognised access and structured GP referrals. Primary customers are individual private patients seeking fast access to specialists outside the NHS waiting-list context, with secondary segments in corporate clients (executive screening) and referrer GPs.
