The HealthInvestor Awards celebrate the very best in health and social care, recognising organisations leading the way in areas such as clinical care, healthcare and technology.
The shortlist follows a standout 2025 for Ascenti Physio. Over the past year, our teams have delivered more than 600,000 physiotherapy appointments across the UK, opened 24 new clinics and hired 90 new physiotherapists nationwide
We also launched an enhanced version of the Ascenti Reach app, which reduced patient waiting times for physiotherapy reviews and support by 85%. The development of Ascenti Reach has been especially important at a time when 7.3 million people are on the NHS waitlist - including 370,000 waiting for musculoskeletal (MSK) treatment. Our digital-first approach and innovation in care delivery are helping thousands of people access support sooner and more conveniently, without compromising on clinical quality or patient satisfaction.
Jacqui Dorney, Managing Director, said: “Ascenti Physio's focus has always been on putting people first, both our patients and our physiotherapists. Being shortlisted for Primary Care Provider of the Year really reflects that commitment.
Over the past year, we’ve made huge strides in improving access to care, expanding our services, and embracing digital innovation, particularly through the recent launch of our Ascenti Reach pilot with York & Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
We’re excited to build on this momentum, grow more strategic partnerships, and continue making physiotherapy more accessible, convenient and effective for everyone who needs it.”
