Private medical insurance
This benefit provides you and any family members added to your policy with access to medical support in addition to what’s available through the NHS; it can cover diagnosis procedures, such as MRI scans, as well as in-patient treatments, including operations and hospital consultants. Included in the private medical scheme are dedicated Cancer Diagnosis and Mental Health Care pathways, which enable members to self-refer and get access to diagnoses and treatment more quickly. Also included is the Nuffield Rapid Access Physio service and treatment for Gender Dysphoria as recognized by the NHS on an in-patient, out-patient or day-patient basis. All employees can add family members to their policy and/or increase their level of cover through salary deductions.
Life assurance
Employees receive company paid basic life assurance of 4x salary* with the option to increase at a cost to the employee.
