Who We Are
Practi is building the FinTech for UK Healthcare. 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 decide not to move forward, and our research tells us this is 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 of an established player, but with the agility and autonomy of a start-up.
We're passionate about solving these issues for everyone, and whilst we've started in the Dental sector, we have big plans to expand across multiple healthcare verticals. We've got a world-class leadership team onboard, led by a successful serial entrepreneur, and we're actively building out the team as we begin to scale - come join us!

The importance we place on Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
Building a company to serve clinicians and patients in healthcare means we need to maximise our diversity of thought, so we can bring the best solutions to bear on such important problems. We also know that diversity of thought is a product of diverse talent, which manifests itself in many ways.
Gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, neurodiversity and socio-economic background are all areas that we spend time thinking about and we encourage applications from typically under-represented groups.
We have a 50/50 gender split across the company and 33% of our amazing colleagues are people of colour - whilst these only represent two dimensions of diversity, we are consistently looking for new ways to find, attract and retain incredible colleagues.
