History

Now Healthcare Group was a health technology company founded in 2014 and based in Salford. It was formally dissolved on 12 November 2023 after having entered into administration in May 2020, following the loss of its Aviva contract.
It was approved by the Care Quality Commission and was said to have 20 million customers.
Now Healthcare Group Ltd is dissolved and no longer an entity.
It provided digital GP services to Aviva clients, using its mobile app, Aviva Digital GP, which allowed people to book video consultations with a GP, get remote diagnoses and advice on simple medical queries.
This service was already offered to the company's private medical insurance clients.
Now Healthcare Group also employed its own GPs.
Now Pharmacy, in Liverpool, was a "tele-pharmacy super hub". It was able dispense around 500,000 prescriptions per month. It used robotics technology, called Rowa and made by Becton, Dickinson.
NowPatient was acquired by Infohealth Ltd in May 2020, and redeveloped into an AI-driven accessible platform that relieves the burden on physical healthcare providers and broadens access to vital services.
