At a time when the healthcare landscape in the UK is changing rapidly, we're building solutions for both healthcare professionals, and patients, that increase access to healthcare for everyone. 54% of patients who attend a private medical clinic for an assessment consultation, then decide not to move forward, and our research tells us this either due to patient anxiety and/or affordability of the treatment. Practi has built a platform that allows clinicians to give their patients a premium experience with educational treatment content to ease anxiety about moving forwards, with an embedded finance solution that allows patients to apply for finance to eliminate affordability as a barrier to receiving healthcare. Practi is a corporate venture, proudly part of the Simplyhealth group (a purpose-driven B Corp), which means we have all the financial stability and industry expertise or an established player, but with the agility and autonomy of a start-up.
