Little things can be life changing

Little things can be life changing

Taking care of your health and wellbeing is always important, and many insurance policies offer access to a variety of health and wellbeing services to help you do just that. These services are available to you whether or not you need to make a claim, as your protection policies are designed to support you beyond just the unexpected.



Often referred to as added value benefits, these services can assist you and your family in maintaining good health and simplifying daily life by providing advice, assistance, and information whenever you need it.

Doctors Consultation

The types of services typically available with protection insurance fall into three areas:

Medical

  • Access to an online GP
  • Second medical opinion service
  • Prescription services
  • Medical care abroad

Support

  • Mental health support
  • Physical rehabilitation
  • Counselling services
  • Return to work support
  • Bereavement support
  • Legal support

Preventative

  • Health MOTs
  • Nutritional support
  • Fitness services
  • Online physiotherapy
  • Nurse healthlines


Please note that not all insurers include all of these, so speak to us to make sure you have the right cover in place for you and your family.

Happy Family Running

You can use your protection policy to help you stay in good shape with these added health services and here’s why:

Many of the services are free

You don’t need to claim on your policy to use them and they can be used throughout the life of your plan and regardless of pre-existing conditions.


They can often be used by your family too

Most services are also available for a partner or children to use at no cost.



They are easy to use

You can book many of these services online and they’re accessible, via an online consultation, an app, or by phone with a professional. 


They are provided by medical and health experts.


They are good for your health and wellbeing

From serious illness to everyday healthcare support, fast access to expert advice and support can be included in your protection policy.

In conclusion, many clients have seen the benefits, for example, one of our insurers reported that 99% of GP appointments were offered within 2 hours of a customer contacting them. They also saw the demand for these appointments increase by 126% from the previous year showing that wider emotional, health and family support services can really make a difference in people's lives.

After a cold night, the day began early with a loud call to prayer at 5 am, jolting us awake and reminding us we were in a very different place. By 7 am, we sat down to a hearty breakfast of porridge, pancakes with jam, coffee, and water. The meal gave us much-needed energy for the long day ahead. We met our guide, Abdoul, along with the mule that would carry our main gear to base camp. Renting crampons for the summit climb added to the sense of both excitement and preparation for the challenges ahead. By 9 am, we set off.
Day 1: Monkey Adventures
2 February 2025
The adventure began at the ungodly hour of 5 am on the frosty morning of 2nd January. With the cold snap in full swing, my entire family rallied to see me off. Ben and Toby tumbled out onto the street in their pyjamas, bleary-eyed and shivering in the freezing cold. They stood there waving goodbye, a sight both chaotic and heartwarming. Thankfully, the street was deserted, sparing them (and me) from any extra embarrassment. As soon as the car pulled away, they were likely back under their duvets before we had even reached the main road.
Prep Day: Monkey-Adventures
26 January 2025
On the 29th of November, I received an invitation that was both thrilling and slightly terrifying: climb Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa. Oh, and I had only 31 days to prepare. With no mountaineering experience and barely enough time to gather the right gear, it felt more like an exercise in chaos than adventure. Toubkal had been sitting on my bucket list for years, collecting dust while life kept getting in the way. Now, the opportunity was here, and despite the tight deadline and my inner voice screaming “Are you mad?”, I just couldn’t say no.
