Our history

Reflecting on 70 years of the NHS

As the NHS turns 70 this year, we’re reflecting on our own history, and looking back at how we and our products have evolved and grown alongside the NHS.

 

The arrival of the NHS in 1948 changed the way people accessed healthcare, meaning that the savings funds that would eventually go on to become Simplyhealth had to change and adapt, providing services that complemented the NHS.

Focussing on managing everyday health

Our number one aim is to help people make the most of life through better everyday health. By giving you the peace of mind that you can get back the money you spend on health treatments, you have the freedom to take care of those niggling everyday health concerns before they become serious. What's more, doing so supports the NHS so that they can focus on more complex treatments.

 

 

Supporting health through charitable giving

At Simplyhealth, our number one aim is to help people make the most of life through better everyday health. It's been built into our business strategy from the outset, and we care about the positive impact of our work rather than flaunting the numbers.
