Private Medical Insurance – The Rising Demand for Private Healthcare

As the strain on the NHS continues, businesses today face critical challenges. These challenges can be a mixture of things like struggling to attract and retain top talent, reducing absenteeism, improving productivity, or supporting employee wellbeing in a cost-effective way.

With rising living costs, GP shortages, and increasing mental health concerns, the demand for Private Medical Insurance (PMI) has surged. The Association of British Insurers (ABI) reported a 7% rise in new PMI policies in 2024, highlighting its growing importance in workplace benefits.

In a world where health is wealth, Private Medical Insurance can provide an indispensable layer of protection and peace of mind.

Why Private Medical Insurance Matters More Than Ever

  • Mental Health Support – According to a latest report by CIPD, 63% of long-term absenteeism is caused by mental ill health
  • Faster Access to Treatment – Long NHS waiting times can impact employee recovery, affecting both physical health and productivity.
  • Holistic Wellbeing – Financial stress can exacerbate physical and mental illness.
  • Enhanced Quality of Care – Your employees will gain access to a wide range of healthcare providers and facilities, leading to cutting-edge treatments and technologies that aren’t readily available through the NHS
  • Comprehensive Cover – Access to a broad spectrum of medical services, meaning your employees and their loved ones are protected against unexpected medical expenses, providing financial peace of mind

Your employees are your greatest asset. Investing in their health, wellbeing, and financial security isn’t just a benefit—it’s a competitive advantage.
