From preventive care to comprehensive medical support, we aim to empower individuals to take charge of their health, inspiring them to make the most of their wellbeing

Our take
Founded in 1872, Simplyhealth precedes even the NHS. At times of huge strain on the NHS, Simplyhealth's focus on making medical care accessible to the many has been in great demand across the country.
The UK health and medical insurance market is set to register a CAGR of 4.56%, during the forecast period (2024-2029) showing plenty of opportunity in the space. Simplyhealth does have a large pool of top competitors though, including companies such as PT Astra Aviva Life, Axa UK PLC, Bupa Insurance Ltd, Prudential PLC, and Western Provident Association.
Despite competition, Simplyhealth remains an award-winning healthcare company. Recent awards include Health Insurance Innovation: Finder Awards 2021. It's long record of successful community work and lobbying for fair healthcare access, combined with its updated tech stack - notably its SimplyMe app - sets Simplyhealth on track for continued future success as a legacy player in the healthcare industry.
