Founding Talent Partner
The world’s best healthcare, for free. It's not a new idea, it's called the NHS. But the largest healthcare provider is fundamentally broken. We’re on a mission to fix it with technology that actually works.
We love the NHS because it’s accessible to all, free at the point of delivery, and employs millions across the UK. But everyone knows the headlines: under intense pressure from rising costs, GP strikes, budget uncertainty, and an ageing population. These challenges manifest as longer wait times, fewer appointments, and lower quality care for those who need it most. The NHS is beautiful, but broken.
The largest cost (£66bn+) is staff, who spend a humiliatingly excessive amount of time on mundane administrative tasks. 35% of NHS staff work all day, every day, just to keep up with paperwork. And that’s where we’re making a difference.
We’re relentlessly automating repetitive processes within the NHS. Our first product, Automated Registrations, is already used by 24% of GP practices in England. With this foundation, we’re building more powerful tech that unlocks universal healthcare access for the nation. Check out bookable.health for a sneak peek.
Our Principles
Guided by our core values, we tackle challenges with care, collaboration, and ambition:
- Care deeply
- Work hard
- Be your word
- Trust in radical truth and transparency
- Do your life’s best work
- Find the fun
(Read more about our principles in the [Healthtech-1 Handbook]([insert link])).
