Welcome to Pioneer Health Care
About Pioneer Health Care
Pioneer Healthcare specialises in providing insourcing and outsourcing services to NHS patients across a wide range of surgical and medical specialties.
Operating predominantly in the North of England, Pioneer holds contracts with NHS Foundation Trusts and Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). We also hold the prestigious Any Qualified Provider (AQP) status, which allows us to deliver services directly to NHS patients nationwide, free at the point of delivery, where there is sufficient demand.
Totally plc (also called Totally), the parent company of Pioneer Health Care, manages both Pioneer Health Care and Totally Healthcare together under the Pioneer brand, creating Totally's Insourcing Division.
This combined approach strengthens both organisations to offer an expanded range of services to NHS Foundation Trusts, hospitals, and CCGs nationally across the UK and Ireland.
Note: 'Pioneer Health Care International Limited', with overseas operations, is not part of the Totally.
