Our approach
We’re experts in care. In fact, we provide a greater range of specialist care services than any other organisation in the UK.
Practice Plus Group was founded as Care UK in 1982, and rebranded in 2020. Today our healthcare services include hospitals and surgical centres (treating both NHS and private patients), GP practices, NHS walk-in centres, GP out-of-hours, prison health services and clinical assessment and diagnostics facilities. We are also proud to deliver one of the country’s leading ophthalmology services and run a number of NHS 111 call centres.
We work with the NHS to take healthcare services closer to where people live and work – increasing the efficiency and quality of the services we deliver and helping to reduce waiting times – but also provide fast, high quality hospital treatment to patients who wish to self fund or use private health insurance.
We assess, diagnose and treat more than one million patients every year. In 2011 our hospitals ranked highest in an independent national rating of the best performing hospitals for both knee and hip replacement operations, and we were the first provider to achieve a clean sweep of ‘Good’ and ‘Outstanding’ CQC ratings for all secondary care services. Our Bristol 111 call centre was also the first in the country to be rated ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission.
Whatever type of care or treatment you and your family need, we have the professionals and the facilities to give you the very best support, when and where you need it.
