Notes to
Editors:
One Health engages over 100 NHS
Consultants who sub-specialise in the various surgeries offered by
the Company, through a growing network of community-based outreach
clinics and surgical operating locations. One Health continues to
deliver strong growth and in the year to March 2024 provided much
needed care to 13,266 new patients, through almost 34,000
consultations and over 6,000 surgical procedures. One Health
deploys surgeons and anaesthetists that are mostly employed by the
NHS, on a subcontracted basis. It currently works with over 100
professionals across 8 independent hospitals and 35 CQC registered
outreach clinics. Within these community-based outreach clinics all
consultations and post operative physiotherapy is delivered where
required, reducing patient inconvenience and excess
travel.
One Health's activities are focused
on areas where NHS patient needs are under-supplied by the local
NHS service, population density is relatively high and the level of
private medical insurance or the ability to self-fund is relatively
low. One Health has also sought to expand geographically from its
Head Office in Sheffield into neighbouring counties, which meet
these criteria. Currently, the Company's activities are focused in
Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and
Leicestershire. Revenue of over £23m in the year to 31 March 2024
was derived from over 60 NHS commissioning bodies in addition to
contracts with local NHS Hospital Trusts to transfer their internal
waiting list patients to One Health for quicker
treatment.
One Health's business model has
focused to date on four main areas: being Orthopaedics, Spine,
General Surgery and Gynaecology. The split of inpatient procedures
in the year to 31 March 2024 was as follows: Orthopaedics 46% Spine
22% General Surgery 22% Gynaecology 10%.
Spine and orthopaedics are
particularly attractive areas for One Health as the Directors
believe that they benefit from powerful growth drivers in terms of
an ageing demographic, physical inactivity and an increasing
proportion of the population being categorised as obese. Within
orthopaedics, the most common surgeries performed by One Health are
knee and hip replacements.
One Health delivered 6,169
procedures in the year to 31 March 2024 and the Directors expect
the Company to deliver significantly more procedures in the year to
31 March 2025.
One Health was admitted to trading on Aquis in
November 2022 with the ticker OHGR.AQ.
