Our

Bupa’s purpose is helping people live longer, healthier, happier lives and making a better world. We do this by providing a broad range of healthcare services, support and advice to people throughout their lives. People are at the heart of everything we do. Together, we make health happen.

Our
values

Every company needs an ethos, and we're no different. Through good days and challeging times, we always work with our values in mind. These are: Brave - Make new possibilities happen. Caring - Act with empathy and respect. Responsible - Own your decisions and actions.

We don't have shareholders at Bupa, which means we're free to invest our profits where they matter: our patients, our facilities, our research, and you. 

As a healthcare provider, we have a duty to do the right thing. By our customers, our people and our partners. The Bupa Code holds us to this duty. It's our promise to protect, care for, and build trust with everyone who relies on us.
