Medical Protection Society commended as healthy workplace

One of the largest independent healthcare intermediaries in the UK has introduced a HealthSure healthcare cash plan for all 180 employees.

Medical Protection Society (MPS), which has offices in Leeds and London, is a not for profit organisation that provides legal and ethical support for its members in the health industry.

Following extensive focus groups with employees, MPS turned to an independent health insurance intermediary to find a healthcare solution for all of its workforce.

Pauline Brown, Director of Human Resources for MPS explained: “We actually held a number of focus groups and employee surveys to ask what our staff wanted. We offer our members peace of mind and provide support for health professionals with legal and ethical advice, so it is only natural that we provide similar dedication to our workforce.”

Employees at the organisation wanted extensive cover towards dental and optical treatments as well as money towards a health screen, specialist consultations and counselling provision.

Pauline continued: “Our employees help GPs and other professionals with clinical negligence claims, legal and ethical dilemmas, disciplinary procedures, inquests and fatal accident inquiries so their days are incredibly intense and can be stressful.”

“Our employees also understand the value of ensuring that they remain healthy and requested cover towards treatments that can help such as health screens and consultations,” she said.

David Wilson, intermediary manager from HealthSure said: “Medical Protection Society has invested a substantial amount towards each and every employee to ensure that they receive dedicated health support and we were delighted to produce a product tailored to its specific needs.

“We worked closely with the intermediary, Linda Cooper of Premier Choice Healthcare Ltd to ensure that a product was designed to meet all their requirements exactly.”

In response, HealthSure developed a competitively priced bespoke product to enhance policy limits on dental and optical treatment, generous health screen benefit, GP consultancy and a 24 hour confidential helpline.

HealthSure’s policies are a cost effective way to look after the health and well-being of your employees. From as little as £1 per person per week, healthcare cash plans offer money back towards a wealth of everyday healthcare treatments including dental, optical, physiotherapy, counselling and a health screen.
