Care UK is a leading independent provider of health and social care services. Working in close partnership with local authorities and primary care trusts, we provide care and support for older people and those with learning disabilities as well as a range of healthcare services. These services include the operation of NHS walk-in centres, GP surgeries and treatment centres and the provision of a range of specialist mental health care including treatment for young people who self harm or have eating disorders.

In the health sector, we are the largest operator by far of independent sector treatment centres in the UK and we are very active across a wide spectrum of primary care services. We operate GP practices, NHS walk-in centres and GP out-of-hours services, as well as highly innovative Clinical Assessment and Treatment Services (CATS).

Today one in five people in the UK population has access to one of the many Care UK facilities. We currently serve all of the SHAs, we work with one in three PCTs and we provide social care and support services to more than half of the commissioning local authorities.

At Care UK, we see the world through the eyes of our service users and customers and we recognise that, for our service users, quality of life is as important to them as the care they receive.

For the older people we care for, we recognise that we can improve the quality of the life they lead by being attentive to their individual needs and by helping them to stay as active as their health allows them.

In our healthcare activities, we take primary and secondary care services closer to where people live and work, enabling them to get on with their daily lives. We improve their speed of access to care and the efficacy of their care, to help them lead fuller lives.
