We’re excited that Connect Health and Healthshare came together as one organisation as Cora Health in December 2024, combining our decades of experience in providing healthcare services on behalf of the NHS into one team – stronger together, with a shared commitment to care.
Cora Health is reimaging healthcare for all. Our workforce embraces diversity with a culture of inclusivity, that puts wellbeing first and enables a colleague voice.
The 2025 WRES report is based on 2 years, 2024 and 2025. The data in this report combines Connect Health and Healthshare data from 2024, where available, and Cora Health data 2025.
