"Functional and disability assessments for government health services across the UK"
About Advo Health
Advo Health delivers functional and disability assessments for government health assessment services across the UK. Part of the Ascenti Group and registered in Fareham, its clinical community includes nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, paramedics, pharmacists and doctors. Assessors combine consultations, medical evidence and professional judgement to explain how health conditions or disabilities affect daily life.
The assessment business has worked with the Department for Work and Pensions and delivery partners since 2013. It provides Personal Independence Payment and Work Capability Assessments through the Health Assessment Advisory Service, producing reports that help the DWP make benefit decisions. During its first year delivering HAAS, from September 2024, Advo completed more than 90,000 assessments across the East and West of England.
Learning to assess
Advo’s pathway for new Functional Assessors starts with induction and five weeks of foundation training, using live sessions, role-play and written case work. Mentored assessments and feedback follow, with the full approval journey usually taking around three months. Clinical Performance Leads, managers, the Academy team and peers remain available after training.
Clinical and operational teams
Advo organises its service leadership across East and West regions, with clinical and operational leads working alongside business support teams. Its senior team includes clinicians with backgrounds in physiotherapy, nursing and mental health, connecting assessment quality with the organisation of the service.
