Case management and fast track healthcare advice

We encourage early treatment to minimise the length of ill health.

For example getting someone costing £15,000 per year with a musculoskeletal problem back to work two weeks earlier will save £576 but cost £210 with a net saving of £366.
Another example is purchasing a test, which has a long waiting list such as an MRI scan, will expedite diagnosis and treatment and hence subsequent return to work.

You can select from the programme according to your organisation’s needs. We can work with individuals and groups of employees offering as many and varied treatments or therapies as appropriate.
