Successful planning application for first Surgical Hub

Proposed opening in late summer 2026

One Health Group plc (AIM: OHGR), an independent provider of NHS-funded medical procedures, for patients referred through 'Patient Choice' for treatment in Orthopaedics, Spine, General Surgery, Gynaecology and Urology, announces that the planning application for its first Surgical Hub in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, has been granted.

Construction work will commence in due course with a proposed opening in late summer 2026. The surgical hub is expected to deliver significant additional surgical operating capacity in regions with limited provision of NHS services. The surgical hub model is characteristic of delivering efficient, high-volume surgeries and is designed to maximise both patient outcomes and financial returns.

Adam Binns, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"Our ambition to develop a network of surgical hubs is key to our longer-term accelerated growth strategy, supporting rising NHS demand and offering surgical capacity growth in under resourced areas across the North of England and the Midlands. We're delighted to confirm that our first site will be in Scunthorpe, and that our first Surgical Hub there will bring both localised specialist surgical services and employment to a much-deprived area.

"As reiterated in recent days, key to the government's 10-Year Health Plan is delivering more care in the community away from NHS hospitals, this approach has been a cornerstone of One Health's provision of care to NHS patients for over 20 years through our community-based outreach clinic network and will be complemented and enhanced with the addition of surgical hubs.

"The NHS is increasingly looking to independent providers for additional support, and we are confident that the additional capacity provided by our first Surgical Hub, will complement the ongoing organic growth driven by our existing community-based outreach clinics and third party surgical operating locations."

About One Health Group plc (www.onehealth.co.uk)

One Health engages 80 NHS Consultants (excluding anaesthetists) who sub-specialise in the various surgeries offered by the Company, through a growing network of community-based outreach clinics and surgical operating locations. One Health continues to deliver strong growth and, in the year, to March 2025 provided much needed care to 17,020 new patients, through over 42,000 consultations and over 7,000 surgical procedures. One Health deploys surgeons and anaesthetists that are mostly employed by the NHS, on a subcontracted basis. It currently works with over 100 professionals across 9 independent hospitals and 37 outreach clinics. Within these community-based outreach clinics all consultations and post operative physiotherapy is delivered where required, reducing patient inconvenience and excess travel.

One Health's activities are focused on areas where NHS patient needs are under-supplied by the local NHS service, population density is relatively high and the level of private medical insurance or the ability to self-fund is relatively low. Currently, the Company's activities are focused in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. Revenue is derived from over 60 NHS commissioning bodies in addition to contracts with local NHS Hospital Trusts to transfer their internal waiting list patients to One Health for quicker treatment.

One Health's business model has focused to date on four main areas: orthopaedics, spine, general surgery and gynaecology, with urology introduced at the end of FY25.

Spine and orthopaedics are particularly attractive areas for One Health as the Directors believe that they benefit from powerful growth drivers in terms of an ageing demographic, physical inactivity and an increasing proportion of the population being categorised as obese. Within orthopaedics, the most common surgeries performed by One Health are knee and hip replacements.
