Health Partners

What Health Partners does

Health Partners Group is the largest occupational health provider in the UK and one of the largest non-hospital healthcare providers, delivering end-to-end workplace health services to private and public sector employers across the UK and Ireland. Founded in 2016 by Andrew Noble (CEO) and Dr. Alasdair Emslie (Head of Health), the company serves 700+ enterprise clients supporting over 3 million employees through 1,278 clinicians and employees, 119 onsite clinics and mobile units, and remote/telephone assessment channels. Service coverage spans the full absenteeism management value chain — assessment, treatment and prevention — including absence management, mental health (Psych Health), musculoskeletal health, health risk management, occupational hygiene (Hygiene Partners), chronic conditions coaching (Changing Health, an NHS-approved digital platform), neurodiversity and disability support, workplace primary care, drug and alcohol testing (QuAI Health), and professional training (Health Partners Academy).

The business operates a tech-enabled platform-plus-modules architecture anchored by the proprietary Gateway client portal for service coordination and the Changing Health digital health platform for chronic conditions behaviour change. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring B2B subscription-style contracts with employers, supplemented by unit-priced BOHS-accredited training courses (e.g., M200 at £1,000 per person) and professional services. The company holds an extensive stack of sector accreditations (SEQOHS, ISO 9001/14001/45001/27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, RISQS, Constructionline, JOSCAR, FSQS) that gate access to regulated industries. For FY2025 (12 months ended 31 July 2025), Health Partners reported £94.3M in revenue (+22% YoY) and £17.4M operating profit (+59% YoY). In July 2025, Warburg Pincus acquired a stake at a £300–400M valuation to accelerate growth, technology investment and innovation, with co-founders and management retained.
