Notes to editors

 

Totally is a leading provider of healthcare and wellbeing services across
the UK and Ireland, working in partnership with the NHS, other healthcare
providers and corporate customers to help address the challenges of increased
demand for healthcare services.

 

The Company is committed to pursuing a progressive buy-and-build consolidation
strategy within the fragmented healthcare market and looks to capitalise on
the attractive opportunities that its disruptive service model offers to
generate value to shareholders.

 

Totally helps healthcare commissioners and hospitals ensure patients can
access the most appropriate care quickly and efficiently by delivering quality
urgent care services, such as NHS 111 and urgent treatment centres and
elective care services, such as community dermatology clinics and first
contact practitioner. Totally also delivers additional clinical capacity
through insourcing and outsourcing arrangements to trusts and hospitals
tackling growing waiting lists. Our corporate customer services also play a
role in reducing reliance on healthcare by promoting healthy lifestyles and
physical and mental health.

 

Totally Urgent Care

 

Totally Urgent Care is made up of Vocare and Greenbrook Healthcare. Both
businesses have a strong heritage. Vocare was established in 1996 as
Northern Doctors Urgent Care to provide urgent care services in the North
of England and continues to deliver urgent treatment centres and GP Out of

for NHS 111. Greenbrook was established in 2006 and cares for NHS patients
across London and the home-counties through the delivery of urgent treatment
centres.

 

Totally Planned Care

 

Totally Planned Care is made up of About Health and Premier Physical
Healthcare. The businesses are focused on giving patients access to the right
care quickly, reducing pressure on other NHS services and, ultimately,
reducing waiting lists. About Health has been delivering community-based
specialist care with a focus on delivering prompt assessment and treatment
across the country since 2008. Premier Physical Healthcare, established in
2007, provides high quality physiotherapy and podiatry to NHS patients,
often within a community GP practice, and to the prison service.

 

Pioneer Health Care

 

Pioneer Health Care was established in 2007 and has grown under the direction
of three senior NHS consultants. Pioneer delivers a wide range of acute
services to NHS patients, in partnership with independent healthcare sector
private hospitals across England, to help the NHS reduce waiting lists
whilst maintaining patient care and quality. Pioneer can offer services
through insourcing and outsourcing agreements and through its Any Qualified
Provider status. Totally Healthcare, Totally's insourcing business, which was
launched in 2019 and previously made up Totally's insourcing division, was
incorporated into Pioneer in 2022 following its acquisition.
