Allied Healthcare

Allied Healthcare are the UK’s largest domiciliary care business and a leading provider of outsourced healthcare services to the English primary care sector.[1]

History

Allied Healthcare started in 1972, with a nursing home in Staffordshire. It now has 140 branches across the UK and Ireland.[2]

Allied Healthcare was acquired by Saga group in 2011.[3]

In December 2015, Saga agreed to sell Allied Healthcare to Aurelius Group,[1] which describes themselves as a pan-European asset manager with offices in Munich, London, Stockholm, and Madrid.[4]

In October 2014 Allied Healthcare, then owned by Saga, was ordered to pay the legal costs of Elaine Fernandez, a nurse who was awarded more than £80,000 by an employment tribunal in 2013. It ruled she was unfairly dismissed and suffered detriment for making protected whistleblowing disclosures. The tribunal said the company had pursued a "defensive position" that was "unreasonably hostile". She had raised concerns after Hywel Dda Health Board which commissioned the company to provide nursing care for a disabled patient decided to replace nurses with healthcare assistants.[5]
