Notes to Editors

Totally plc aims to become a leading 'out-of-hospital' healthcare service provider in the UK, helping to address some of the biggest challenges faced by the UK healthcare sector.

By working to deliver preventative and responsive care through its subsidiaries across multiple disciplines, Totally's goal is to improve people's health, reduce healthcare reliance, re-admissions and emergency admissions.

Totally, via its subsidiaries, operates within the UK's outsourced healthcare market, estimated to be worth in excess of GBP20bn per year for the NHS alone. Out-of-Hospital services include care in the community, GP surgeries, patients' homes, prisons and other public sector organisations, places of work as well as mobile locations and urgent care solutions.

The Company is currently engaged in delivering a progressive 'buy and build' consolidation strategy within the UK's fragmented healthcare market and raised GBP18 million in February 2017 to capitalise on the attractive opportunities that its disruptive, outcome-based, outsourced healthcare service model offers, to ultimately deliver value to shareholders as it continues to build critical mass in 2017 and beyond. On 6 October 2017, the Company announced its proposed acquisition of Vocare Limited, a UK urgent care specialist providing services to 9.2 million patients per year, for up to GBP11.0 million.
