4 AIS-Aug25012 Globally, approximately 44,000 to 98,000 deaths annually are linked to medication errors. This is a staggering statistic that is being driven by the mounting pressures placed upon healthcare professionals, with little support provided. MedNurse is an emerging app developed to help nurses take further steps to prevent these numbers from rising, providing them with the information and support required to keep their patients safe. We spoke with Theary Ros below, Founder and CEO of MedNurse, as the pioneering app has been recognised in the Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Awards 2025. “MedNurse exists to help every nurse make the right med decision no matter the pressure, no matter the shift.” One of the most significant challenges in the healthcare sector, and nursing in particular, is the growing combination of information overload and poor accessibility. Nurses must maintain protocols, drug references, and new policies, all whilst managing patient care in real-time. The system does not currently support those under such pressure and, when something goes wrong, it is often wrongly blamed on “user error.” This is a significant gap, and one that MedNurse is stepping up to fill. MedNurse was founded by Theary Ros, a former ER nurse who saw firsthand that even the most experienced clinicians struggle under pressure when the correct information is not available at the right moment. Too often, Theary witnessed medication errors occurring not because of carelessness but due to complexity, interruptions, unclear protocols, or a lack of accessible tools. In response, Theary founded MedNurse, a platform designed to bridge the gap between knowledge and practice. Launched in 2023, this groundbreaking application combines clinical accuracy with real-world usability to provide nurses with instant access to interactive tools they can trust. From dosage calculators and clear, step-by-step medication guides to mixing instructions and realworld practice scenarios, MedNurse has been built to support and empower nurses, wherever they work. At its heart, MedNurse is a community space built by nurses, for nurses. Driven by a mission to reduce medication errors and enhance patient safety in healthcare environments around the world, the application boasts a wide array of innovative features that include an expansive medication database; an accurate dosage calculator; a toolbox of educational materials and training; frequent safety alerts and reminders; reporting and analytics features to track errors; a customisable personal and professional profile; and a clean, intuitive, and easy-to-navigate profile. “MedNurse is different because it was created from inside the shift, not outside of it,” Theary told us. “We built it based on real frustrations, missed moments, and the constant need nurses have for clear answers when time is short, and the stakes are high. It is not a system we expect nurses to adapt to; it is a tool that adapts to nurses. No login, no multi-click dashboards, no fluff. Just quick, safe guidance in the moment it is needed. Whether it is confirming how to mix a medication or checking what to give and when, MedNurse is built for use during real workflows, not just policy reviews.” “Whether you are a student seeking confidence on your first med pass, a preceptor guiding new graduates, or a quality leader looking to implement safer workflows, we have designed MedNurse to meet you there.” Today, MedNurse serves as more than a tool; it is a movement in nursing safety and support. The application has been designed with accessibility in mind, catering to individual nurses, educators, and entire hospital systems. Hospitals can license MedNurse for customised implementation, complete with branded dashboards, staff usage insights, and compliance-ready materials; nursing programmes can integrate its simulation tools and safety modules into their training; and independent nurses can access quickreference tools for free at mednurse.com, with no downloads or sign-ins required. This wide range of applications is made possible by the company’s core values of safety, clarity, simplicity, and respect for the realities of nursing work. Everything MedNurse does is built on the non-negotiable belief that medication safety should never be complicated. The company aims to provide nurses with tools that are fast, visual, and directly relevant to their reallife operations, each designed to answer one question: “Can a nurse use this mid-shift without stopping what they are doing or second-guessing themselves?” “If the answer is no, we go back and fix it,” Theary stated. “If a tool is not easy to use in the middle of a busy shift, it does not belong on our platform. We listen to what nurses say they need. That feedback drives how we build, simplify, and prioritise. As a result, we have gained genuine trust across units and campuses. Nurses tell each other about MedNurse, not because we marketed to them but because it helped them when they needed it.” In an industry full of apps that are either too technical or too removed from the bedside, remaining firmly rooted in what nurses Best Emerging Nursing & Medical Administration Solution 2025 – USA & Excellence Award in Bedside Medical Safety 2025 MedNurse
GHP Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Awards 2025 actually experience daily has helped MedNurse to grow as a trusted name in patient safety. Designing with the input of nurses at every step of the way means that its content feels familiar, not forced – never aiming to replace nurses’ judgement but to provide unwavering support, education, and empowerment in a continually evolving landscape. “We did not build MedNurse to be competitive; we built it to be useful. The trust we have earned came from delivering what nurses need.” With this client-centric approach at its heart, MedNurse does not consider its most significant breakthrough to be a single feature, but the trust it has earned from nurses. When the application launched, it aimed to become something that nurses genuinely use and benefit from, rather than yet another app collecting dust on their phone’s home screen. Now, nurses print out MedNurse guides and tape them to med carts, keep Mednurse open on their phones during a shift, and even utilise its tools during codes – demonstrating precisely how popular its features have become. One significant achievement came from a nurse working in a medical-surgical unit. The nurse was covering multiple patients and needed to quickly confirm the dilution and rate for a high-alert IV med. She referenced MedNurse to double check her assessment and later told the company that the app had helped her remain calm and confident in a moment that could have resulted in chaos. She said: “I did not have time to flip through a binder or call the pharmacy. I needed a clear answer fast.” “That moment stuck with us,” Theary recalled. “Because it is not about having the most features; it is about delivering the proper support in the right moment. That kind of trust does not happen overnight. It comes from listening, simplifying, and designing with real workflows in mind. That is our proudest success: MedNurse has become a trusted tool for nurses when it counts most.” Since its inception, MedNurse has been instrumental in empowering nurses to deliver care with skill, precision, and confidence. Tom, a Student Nurse, said of the app: “What I have come to appreciate most about the MedNurse app is the built in dosage calculator, which has proven invaluable when it comes to double-checking my calculations and assuring accurate medication administration.” Jill, a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, reported: “As a veteran nurse with years of experience in my field, I find the most comprehensive guide on safely and properly administering medication to be an invaluable resource for both novice and seasoned nurses alike.” This feedback is invaluable to MedNurse, a company dedicated to utilising practical and thoughtful tools to transform not only how nurses work but also how patients experience care. “Adapting also means listening,” Theary explained. “Our growth is not based on trends, but on real-time feedback from the people who use the platform. We continually evolve based on what nurses tell us they need. That is how we stay grounded and relevant, even as the healthcare industry continues to evolve.” In the spirit of evolution, MedNurse is working on a number of projects that continue to focus on real-time medical safety and ease of use. At present, the company is building a library of visual learning tools – including simple but effective graphics and workflows – that can be printed, shared in huddles, and kept on mobile phones for instant access during a shift. MedNurse is particularly excited to reveal the upcoming expansion of its step-by-step medication safety guides and tools based on what nurses have specifically requested, including updated guides
6 for high-alert medications, visual dosing references, and how-to instructions for complex scenarios such as insulin drips and IV pushes. Nurses should not have to second-guess if their work is right, and these quick references are crucial in closing that gap without adding pressure. What’s more, MedNurse is also working with several hospital campuses to create customised dashboards for their educators and stroke teams. These dashboards allow them to track how the tools are being used, identify where more support is needed, and tailor in-services and workflows around real data. This allows MedNurse to expand beyond providing clients with the right tools, ensuring that they are being used in ways that matter. The company is gearing up for another significant project, in the form of MedNurse Paediatrics. It recognises that paediatric medication administration comes with its own unique level of pressure, and as such is developing focused tools designed to support nurses in this area – starting with weight-based dosing cards and simplified calculation references. “Behind the scenes,” Theary added, “we are also enhancing how MedNurse integrates with existing hospital training programmes and compliance goals – while still providing easy access for individual nurses who need a clear answer mid-shift. We are not chasing complexity; we are staying focused on the same mission: making it easier for nurses to safely administer the proper medication at the right time with confidence.” In the longer-term, MedNurse envisions national and global expansion. The challenges nurses face are not unique to one hospital or region; they are shared by nurses around the world. Through its innovative applications and client-centric approach, MedNurse has the true potential to reach nurses everywhere to provide them with support, clarity, and tools they can trust in real-time – a platform truly deserving of the Excellence Award in Bedside Medical Safety 2025. As word of the platform’s efficacy continues to spread, MedNurse has been humbled by the growing interest shown by healthcare investors. The company has not chased funding, instead attracting investors who can see the future of nursing care within what the company has built. Ultimately, its work demonstrates that clinically grounded, tech-enabled tools can reduce risk, save time, and enhance the experience of both patients and providers. Since its inception, MedNurse has operated with an unwavering commitment to its sole mission of reducing med errors and making healthcare safer, without complexity. Its platform well-equips nurses for success; its TNK tool alone has supported hundreds of safe stroke activations, and its quick reference guides have been printed and laminated in nursing units across New York and beyond. For reshaping the landscape of healthcare, and serving the patients behind every decision, MedNurse has earned the rightful recognition as the USA’s Best Emerging Nursing and Medical Administration Solution 2025. “We did not build MedNurse to win awards; we built it to save lives. But we are honoured that you see it too,” Theary concluded. “We do not measure success in downloads or data points. We measure it in every quiet moment where a nurse feels just a little more confident, a little more supported, and a little more seen. “If you are reading this and wondering if MedNurse is for you, it is. Because if you care about patient safety, you are already part of our community.” Contact: Theary Ros Company: MedNurse Web Address: www.mednurse.com
GHP Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Awards 2025
8 40 years delivering the vital service that is supporting adults with complex mental health needs, learning disabilities, and other lifelong health conditions has positioned Comfort Care Services (UK) Ltd as an expert in its field. The sectorleading provider for more than 32 local authorities across South East England, including Berkshire, Middlesex, and South West London, and more than 450 staff cater to around 500 service users throughout the region. On hand to tell us more about the excellent services Comfort Care delivers was Abdul Sattar, its founder and CEO. Specialising in the provision of supported living and specialist care services, vulnerable adults in South East England receive access to high-quality social care support thanks to the experts behind Comfort Care, a company based in Slough, Berkshire. Aside from the supported living mentioned above – Comfort Care offers more than 100 accommodation services with the aim of empowering and promoting independent living – examples of its important work include reablement, crisis response, and domiciliary care. Independence and safety are the goals and cornerstones of each of these services, and Comfort Care works closely with the likes of the NHS, local authorities, and other regional parties to ensure these aims are achieved, as well as that those it supports feel both valued and respected. This is true of all its services users, from those who need short-term support during a mental health crisis to those reliant on its person-centred care long term. An example of the latter is the dementia care service provided by Comfort Care, with its Dementia Resource Centre proving to be a lifeline for individuals battling the symptoms of this umbrella term by allowing them to stay in their own homes longer, preserving their independence and allowing them their familiar routines. The company’s work with dementia resulted in it being a finalist in the National Dementia Care Awards 2025 and also receiving a Gold Standard Design for Dementia Care from Stirling University. Quality is inherent across Comfort Care’s portfolio, something seen through ten of its locations being registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and returning a ‘Good’ rating across all key areas during its last comprehensive assessment. The verdict aligns the company with the CQC’s new Single Assessment Framework, which has been introduced as a way of standardising the inspection and rating processes across the UK to boost transparency and make sure people know exactly what they are getting. Comfort Care owes a lot of its success in this assessment to its company values, which reflect everything from its people-first nature to the genuine care, respect, accountability, and integrity it seeks to embody on a daily basis. “These aren’t just words on a wall”, explained Mr Sattar, “Rather, they shape every decision we make and how we interact with both service users and our staff. He continued: “The values keep us both grounded and consistent, which allows us to build trust with commissioners, partners, and families alike.” “When people know we’re committed to doing the right thing, even when it’s hard, it strengthens our reputation and drives our long-term success.” The commitment to genuine, person-centred care that Comfort Care has built its reputation around since it was established in 1985 may have remained unchanged, but one that thing is constantly developing and being honed is the approach taken by its team. For example, advancements in technology have resulted in several innovations being rolled out over the past few years, ranging from sensory tools like the ‘Magic Table’ – used in dementia care – to an in-house mobile app that has boosted staff training and efficiency. On the technology front, although it is not directly related to the services Comfort Care provides, the Cyber Essentials Plus certification it boasts reflects that it more than meets the acceptable standards of data security and protection, offering peace of mind to staff and service users alike that their personal data remains safe from prying eyes. Despite these advancements, four decades of personal success stories continues to be the thing that sets Comfort Care apart, and its dedication to going a step beyond providing care and instead allowing people in need to take back control of their lives is inspirational and truly a sight to behold. This was something recognised by the National Institute of Health and Care Research (NIHR) and Imperial College London (ICL), both of which Comfort Care partnered with as a part of the nationwide INTERACT research study. As a page on ICL’s website explains, the INTERACT study (otherwise known as the Measuring Loneliness study) is designed to map loneliness and social isolation at both a borough and city level across London. Funded by the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration NWL, this study is the first of its kind and will help health experts paint a clearer picture of how many people consider themselves to be lonely and the impact this has. Complementing this is the ENRICH programme, which is also run by the NIHR, and comprises a national network of care homes and researchers to facilitate research within care environments. Mr Sattar told us: “Our active involvement in national research reflects our commitment to quality, innovation, and learning.” On the back of its participation, Comfort Care has not only been certified as a ‘Research Ready Home Care Organisation’, but it has also gained access to the NIHR Learning app, which further supports staff. Social Care Excellence Award 2025 – Berkshire
GHP Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Awards 2025 “All of this shows our ongoing commitment to evidencebased practice and continuous improvement.” As part of its ongoing quest to provide the best quality of care across South East England, Comfort Care has executed a number of successful projects, including the Medication Synchronisation Project. Partnering with GPs and local pharmacists, this initiative has made medication management safer and more efficient for its staff and service users alike. Another fitting example saw the company train ‘Falls Champions’ in collaboration with the NHS, helping to reduce the number of falls that happen during its care. “We have also introduced champions programmes to boost expertise in key areas such as medication, diabetes, and oral care”, added Mr Sattar. “As well as this, we recently launched our own certified training academy and have already begun our first Level 3 diploma cohort, helping build a highly skilled workforce across the industry.” However, by far the most impressive undertaking Comfort Care has been on over the past several years is Project 1000, which reflects the measurable, lasting changes it is making in the lives of those who need support. The aim was simple: to transform the lives of 1,000 people – service users and staff – which the company did in record time. Project 2000 is the next milestone, with the aim of helping people to make the leap from crisis to stability and from dependence to independence, reflecting its overarching intention. Crucial in achieving this goal will be the staff, a team whose services are more sought after than ever thanks to increased demand, costof-living issues, and the complexity of modern care. Recognising how challenging this environment can be, Comfort Care makes a conscious effort to invest in staff development and create a positive working culture – one where people feel valued and supported – as this directly impacts the care they provide. “We make it a point to recognise success across all levels”, Mr Sattar told us. “Our ‘Care in Action’ awards celebrate serviceuser milestones, whilst our monthly ‘Staff of the Month’ and ‘Management Excellence’ awards acknowledge the hard work and commitment of our team.” He continued: “We have even developed a leadership framework that ensures accountability and consistent support through every layer of our organisation, starting from me, our CEO, and trickling down to our frontline support staff.” “Our staff go above and beyond to provide not just care, but hope, dignity, and empowerment.” Ultimately, whether through its supported living services, specialist care provisions, or any of the other solutions afforded by Comfort Care, the company delivers compassionate and effective care and has done now for 40 years. Its refusal to let up, even going from strength to strength as a result of partnerships and technology, makes Comfort Care Services (UK) Ltd a fitting recipient of our Social Care Excellence Award 2025 – Berkshire.

10 AIS-Jul25312 Established back in 2015 by the duo of Emma Roberts and her father, the late Peter Roberts, ELR Homecare Ltd began its life from a small office in the spare room of their house in the Midlands. A decade later, the company has more than 100 staff members and almost 300 service users to its name, with the former providing a comprehensive range of domiciliary care solutions to the latter from 7am to 10pm, Monday through Sunday. To find out more about this award-winning care provider, we caught up with Jason Maddocks, its operations manager. LR Homecare is based in Brierly Hill and aims to deliver domiciliary care solutions of the highest quality to individuals within the West Midlands. Having delivered its signature personalised care to clients for ten years now, it is clear that homecare is something the team here both take incredibly seriously and are highly passionate about. This is reflected through the range of services available, all of which can be tailored to more than meet the needs of the individual, whenever it is they need them. Diving deeper into these services, they include but are not limited to the likes of personal care, companionship, dementia care, incontinence care, meal preparation, domestic tasks, shopping, prescription collection, and an escort service for appointments. Adults aged 18 and above can access these services, all of which are delivered as part of what is a fully mobile service, with members of the team visiting service users’ homes to provide this professional care, ensuring maximum comfort is offered. That final point in particular is key for ELR Homecare, which values quality care over simply making as much money as possible. As Jason explained: “It’s not all about the numbers with us, it’s about our service users and staff. Providing the best care we possibly can in turn brings the profits in naturally. We believe this is why we are rapidly becoming one of the best homecare providers in the West Midlands.” The ability to put its service users first is something that starts and ends with the company’s remarkable staff. From the carers themselves through to the office staff who make all of this possible, ELR Homecare is like a family. This positions the company favourably in the wider care sector, which has a high turnover across all fields. In fact, staff retention is so important to ELR Homecare that it has been integrated into its values, with schemes and incentives in place to show staff just how appreciated they are. “We really are like one big family here at ELR Homecare, we help each other when and where we can. I believe that is very hard to achieve within any business sector.” Similar initiatives have also been run for service users, including a recent one where they could enter a giveaway for a large food hamper. All they had to do was fill in a survey about the company and return it to the office, which secured their place in this free raffle. Another like-minded project in this realm that is currently being developed involves a free book swap, something ELR Homecare is looking to introduce between staff and service users alike. The aim is simply to get more people to enjoy reading. This is just the beginning when it comes to ELR Homecare’s pledge to give back to the community, something seen further through it leveraging its success to provide support to its local youth football team, FC Darlaston, of which it is also a proud sponsor. The club even plays at the ELR Homecare Stadium, which has a large function room the company uses for internal functions too big for its 3,000 sq. ft. office. Having recently moved into this office, ELR Homecare has had the opportunity to grow, something that has benefited its training centre in particular. This dedicated training centre was introduced to allow third-party training companies to come in and train the company’s staff across a wide range of modules. Elaborating on this, Jason said: “These could be refresher courses or starter courses. Whatever they may be, we always have a room full of staff willing to learn and better serve our service users.” Many members of the team are even working towards their NVQs and diplomas through the local college as adult learners, and although Best Domiciliary Care Provider 2025 – West Midlands E
GHP Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Awards 2025 this is taking place across varying levels of the education spectrum, it demonstrates that staff are seeking to get as much as they can out of their work. This feeds into the overarching mindset had by many here: that this is more of a career than it is a job. Those who feel the same way are welcome at ELR Homecare, which is always on the lookout for caring, charismatic individuals. Given the current care environment, in which many independent care providers are having to close their doors and newer companies are struggling to get going, bodies are needed more than ever. But those pursuing a career in care should try and stay away from the large corporations operating in this space if they can, and instead reach out to a small, family-run business such as ELR Homecare for work. The benefits of doing so are immense, and speaking on behalf of ELR Homecare specifically, Jason explained how the company’s location is one of the primary ones: Being based in the Midlands gives us a very diverse and highly populated area to work with”, he said. “We see an array of service users and staff alike. We meet some amazing people within our area and are extremely proud to say that we serve the West Midlands.” On the back of the constant source of pride ELR Homecare feels for its work, it is unsurprising that the team are determined to celebrate their anniversary with a family fun day/anniversary party. Open to as many members of its extended family as possible, staff, their families, and its service users alike are all welcome to attend. As Jason so succinctly put it himself: “We want to give something back to everyone who’s helped ELR Homecare become such a huge success over the last decade.” After celebrations wind down, ELR Healthcare will be back focusing on its bright future, with its next steps revolving around expansion. Currently providing most of its care around Dudley, Stourbridge, and its home of Brierly Hill, the aim is to branch out to more Walsall and Birmingham postcodes in the coming years, offering more people in the West Midlands the services of a mutliaward-winning homecare provider. However, for now, the Best Domiciliary Care Provider 2025 – West Midlands remains focused on the task at hand: delivering professional care tailored to people’s needs, during the moments they need it most. Reflecting on ELR Homecare’s recognition in this programme, Jason signed off by saying: “We would like to say how proud we are of everyone who works for ELR Homecare. Without the dedication of all of our amazing staff, this would not be possible. We are extremely grateful for this award.” More information about the full range of services offered by ELR Homecare Ltd in the West Midlands can be found at its website, linked below.

12 ViCAP Global AG (ViCAP) is a forwardthinking beverage pacesetter making a huge positive impact on the all-important sector. As the beverage industry supplies us with a plethora of options, sometimes it’s difficult to find a drink that delivers the best of both worlds – excellent flavour with a healthy and nourishing effect. However, with ViCAP the choice is made simple. We have the honour of presenting ViCAP’s contributions for the fourth time as it is awarded in this year’s Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Awards. With ViCAP Global AG established in 2005, and Vicapsystems’ ViCAP solution produced in 2006, the company has been making waves in its realm. Further carving out a path for itself in the beverage industry, ViCAP continues to create and distribute the world’s first and only effective dispenser cap system, in addition to improving the industry’s packaging capabilities. “Our mission is to innovate and produce the most effective dispenser cap system and pioneer the new beverage packaging revolution.” Revolutionising the beverage industry with its technology, ViCAP’s innovative solution is a dispenser sports-cap system which stores and protects vital ingredients until the moment of consumption. Guaranteeing the maximum potency of ingredients, ViCAP delivers essential and nutritional vitamins from inside the cap into the water within the vessel below. This ensures that each drink can be enjoyed at our convenience, without losing precious vitamins. Scientific studies have shown that natural and active ingredients lose their potency when in contact with the base liquid, light sources, and oxygen, which is exactly why ViCAP’s pioneering solution is of utmost importance. This idea also stems from the time Aqua Nova launched a drink containing Q12, which unfortunately had a short shelf life for the efficacy of its vitamins. At this very moment, Vicapsystems came up with the forward thinking idea of its ViCAP solution to not only extend the shelf life but also to supply technology for any company wishing to enhance its product range. Delivering vitamins, without compromising their efficacy, ViCAP is the future of beverages, and health, now. Founded by three Swiss investors – Andreas Schwyn, Conrad Weiss, Roger Wilfinger – Vicapsystems’ history is rich with entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to making the beverage industry a better place. The team conceptualised the idea to separate vitamins from the base liquid from the very beginning so that they could deliver something the industry had never seen before, and something that would add value to the health of the consumer. Forming this strong team, reinforced by the same shared vision, ViCAP continues to produce high quality solutions for a plethora of consumers across the non-alcoholic beverage market. Always understanding the needs of the market, ViCAP goes above and beyond to stay ahead of trends, both current and ongoing, to guarantee only the best products on the market for its customers. ViCAP’s values are centred around functionality, convenience, and sustainability. Each value is held at the very beating heart of the business’ operations, whether that’s day to day or incorporated into long term goals. With over 20 years of innovation and experience, ViCAP still manages to expertly maintain unwavering partnerships with its employees, customers, and suppliers, especially through prioritising its core values every step of the way. ViCAP’s strategic partnership with KA-EX in 2023 has led the company to further success in the beverage industry. From the first phase of the launch strategy to where the company is now, ViCAP’s partnerships have brought it a long way. Working with its partners to achieve more, the business has integrated into the MISTA startup ecosystem alongside gaining the support of food industry giants like Givaudan and Danone. Furthermore, partner KA-EX was previously invited as the sole European startup to the investor meeting of the Nutrition Capital Network (NCN) in San Francisco, a network encompassing prominent corporate venture capitalists in the U.S. food sector, including Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and other esteemed names. ViCAP itself was proudly recognised as the official supplier to the prestigious House of Athletes in Florida, a training facility frequented by NFL and MLB stars, in years gone by.

14 Healthcare benefits are some of the most sought out amongst employees, as rising costs mean that people want better cover from their workplaces. At the same time, companies want their employees to be happy and protected but cannot risk breaking the bank in an environment where they too must be careful. Enter Managed Health, a company determined to simplify healthcare and make it accessible and affordable for everyone. On hand to tell us more about this was Managed Health’s CEO, Mouhamet Seye. Working in the dynamic environment that is employee health benefits, the first hurdle that Managed Health has to overcome is employee engagement. Mouhamet told us: “Studies show that nearly 50% of working Americans with employer-sponsored benefits don’t use them – often due to cost, confusion, or lack of relevant information regarding application and use.” That is why this Managed Health is working to eliminate cost barriers, simplify access, and just make wellness more engaging. “Our goal is to make healthcare not just accessible, but predictable instead of reactive, personalised instead of standardised, and empowering instead of restrictive.” On a mission to rewrite the rules of employee coverage, the unique approach to healthcare that Managed Health takes sees it nurture healthier workforces by providing them with preventative, proactive, and data-backed care. It does this to businesses of all shapes and sizes, ranging from staffing agencies and gig platforms to medium-sized businesses in search of flexible, inclusive worker healthcare solutions. Many of its clients also employ freelancers and part-time staff, people historically excluded from employer sponsor medical plans. To this end, Managed Health has a two-fold focus across the company: preventative care and a belief in wellness. Starting with the former, an emphasis on preventative care sees clients encouraged to take a proactive approach to managing their health, the aim being to encourage healthy behaviours and stop certain issues before they arise. This is beneficial for employees and businesses alike, as overall health goes up whilst healthcare costs go down. Similarly, the belief in wellness that guides Managed Health is an extension of this, with the company delivering comprehensive programmes led by its own Chief Wellness Officer, Dr Victor Kidd. More than just the standard health screenings and check-ups offered by most providers, Managed Health’s provisions cover additional areas such as mental health, stress management, nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle. The goal is to identify risks early and provide tailored support accordingly. Further incentivising employees are the wellness-based rewards that Managed Health has built into their programs, where staff get incentivized in return for completing what the company designates ‘wellness milestones’ – such as going to a routine screening or partaking in a wellness challenge. This may foster some friendly competition between peers, but the primary aim is to encourage people to take a long-term view of their health and wellness. The pioneering solution Managed Health takes to transforming the healthcare benefits of its clients is seen through the Managed Health Plan, its flagship product. Designed to be flexible and adaptable, the Plan perfectly complements any existing benefits package, driving value, enhancing health, and improving cost – all whilst being straightforward to implement. For employees, the list of benefits includes minimal essential benefits, primary care, urgent care, and speciality care visits all offered with $0 co-pay.

GHP Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Awards 2025 Employees and their families alike also benefit from the same $0 co-pay for telemedicine and mental health services, as well as prescriptions and discounts on additional healthcare provisions. These zero out-of-pocket healthcare benefits are especially beneficial, promoting the aforementioned key aim of preventative care but also minimising unnecessary health expenses for both employers and employees – a win-win. The strategic approach behind the Managed Health Plan – which is built around Managed Health’s overarching pledge to simplify healthcare – also helps to keep administrative burdens to a minimum, as well as enhancing general workforce wellbeing. So seamless is the integration process with a client’s existing benefits package that they can be reaping the rewards in no time at all, allowing their business to grow and employees to thrive. Distinguishing factors of Managed Health’s approach are plentiful, but a key one is that coverage not only extends to employees’ families, but also to 1099 and part-time workers. By considering the entire scope of the workforce, Managed Health is demonstrating an awareness of the diversity of the modern workplace, ensuring that everyone is treated exactly the same. In fact, for Mouhamet: “Our most significant breakthrough is proving that healthcare engagement can be scaled across decentralised, non-traditional workforces.” Moreover, another key factor separating the company from its competition is its strategic use of additional resources, including its AI-powered healthcare concierge, AMI, which helps employees with tasks like booking appointments and refilling prescriptions. A recent overhaul means AMI now supports real-time benefit navigation, making healthcare navigation even more intuitive and immediate. In many ways, this marks a breakthrough in bespoke healthcare for the employee benefits ecosystem – the dawn of a new age. This not only applies on an industry-wide scale, but also in case studies of clients Managed Health has worked with and helped over the past few years. For example, thanks to its Well @ Work platform – which can identify health risks early on and delivers targeted interventions – as well an ability to offer its services in multiple languages, the company recently helped the staff at a large, majority Spanish-speaking chain to improve their health outcomes and streamline costs by adopting the Managed Health Plan. The impact has been truly transformative. “Through Well @ Work, our population health initiatives and employee education focus, we’ve seen increased preventive care participation, reduced ER visits and high-cost claims, and higher retention rates among clients.” Ultimately, by shifting experience and cost from traditional healthcare benefit plans to the Managed Health Plan – significantly savings employers on healthcare spend and constantly raising renewal premiums in the process – Managed Health is going beyond just offering benefits. Rather, it is building its vision of a smarter, more equitable system for employee health benefits. This alone makes Managed Health a fitting recipient of the award for Most Dedicated Bespoke Health Solutions Provider 2025 – USA in this programme.

Recognised for the second year in a row in the Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Awards, this time as Best Holistic Healthcare Coaching Company 2025 – South Africa, the group is revolutionising the intersection between healthcare, human potential, and performance with a deeply integrative, science-backed, and soul-anchored approach. At the core of this revolution is Dr Suzanne Ravenall, a visionary leader, transformation architect, and integrative medicine practitioner with over 30 years of experience across corporate strategy, energy psychology, human performance, and neuro-repatterning. She has pioneered a multibrand ecosystem designed to rewire the patterns that break people, businesses, and systems — and rebuild them for radical thriving. An Ecosystem of Transformation The Ravenall Institute is not a single solution. It is an interconnected suite of brands that together form a blueprint for unleashing human potential at every level — individual, team, organisational, and societal.

With a PhD, 20+ certifications, over 30 awards, and more than 10 million lives touched through training, coaching, and keynotes, she bridges neuroscience, energy work, corporate strategy, and ancient wisdom — offering not just improvement, but metamorphosis. Having spent over two decades in the upper echelons of corporate leadership, Suzanne shifted her focus after recognising a deeper calling: to guide others through radical inner rewiring that transforms not only how they perform — but who they become. “We can’t always predict the future, but we can shape it — powerfully and consciously,” says Dr Ravenall. “We are here to unlock patterns, energise performance, and raise the standard of what it means to be human.” The Holistic Future of Healthcare and Human Potential The Ravenall Institute operates at the convergence of science, soul, and strategy. Whether working with executives navigating burnout, individuals trapped in trauma loops, or companies stuck in performance bottlenecks, Suzanne and her team use a multi-layered approach — combining applied neuroscience, energy medicine, behavioural repatterning, and systems thinking. This holistic methodology is what earned them the Healthcare Coaching Company of the Year 2024 — and now, Best Holistic Healthcare Coaching Company 2025. Their work is not just healing. It is upgrading human capacity in real-time. From executive coaching and bioenergetic healing, to performance mapping, organizational design, and conscious business consulting, every touchpoint within the Ravenall ecosystem is designed to recode limitations into liberation.
