Glasgow-based digital health company Simple Online Healthcare has announced a new programme of community-focused digital skills initiatives, expanding its investment in the next generation of technology and healthcare talent across Scotland.
The announcement comes as the company celebrates recognition in both the 2026 Sunday Times 100 and Sunday Times Scotland 50 rankings.
Founded in 2015, and headquatred in Glasgow’s East End, Simple Online Healthcare has grown into one of the UK’s leading digital healthcare providers. The business reported £155 million in revenue in FY26 while remaining entirely self-funded and debt-free. Today, it employs more than 150 people, with over 80% of its workforce based in Scotland, and plans to increase headcount by around 15% over the coming year.
The company was ranked 48th in the 2026 Sunday Times 100, making it the second-highest ranked Scottish business and second-highest ranked healthcare company on this year’s list. It also featured in the Sunday Times Scotland 50, recognising the country’s fastest-growing private companies.
Investing in Glasgow’s future
Alongside its commercial growth, Simple Online Healthcare is expanding its long-standing commitment to the local community through a series of new education and skills initiatives.
At the heart of the programme is a new series of technology, software engineering and digital skills hackathons for secondary school pupils. Delivered in partnership with schools across Glasgow, the events will see students tackle real-world challenges from the healthcare and technology sectors while developing practical skills and gaining insight into digital careers.
The company is also strengthening graduate pathways through a new partnership with Entrepreneurial Scotland and its Saltire Scholars Programme. The collaboration will provide internships and employment opportunities for graduates, with the first three Saltire Scholars already joining the business.
For school leavers, Simple Online Healthcare will also offer 12 structured work experience placements, designed to provide hands-on experience and a greater understanding of the wide range of careers available within a modern digital healthcare company.
Giving back to the city
The new programme builds on the company’s wider community work, which has included mentoring local school pupils, supplying EpiPens to schools at cost price through a national access programme, supporting local charities, and investing in professional development for its own workforce through workshops on emerging technologies.
Addy Mohammed, CEO and Co-Founder of Simple Online Healthcare, said: “Glasgow has given us the talent and community which has helped us build a truly innovative and fast-growing business.
“We want to give something back that has a lasting impact. Scotland has world-class strengths in healthcare and the sciences, and we want to support the next generation of talent and entrepreneurs achieve their potential.”
