Health Shield is a health and wellbeing provider, offering Health Cash Plans to members of staff. Please note, this is not private medical insurance, meaning membership is more affordable, there is no excess fee, and you don’t have to be unwell to claim.  You can watch an introductory video, highlighting the benefits of the plan, here.  You can find details of the membership plan on the right hand side of this page.

You will have access to a range of services and benefits, giving you peace of mind that your everyday healthcare costs including optical, dental and physiotherapy treatments are covered with up to 100% of your money back*. Details of accepted accreditations and qualifications are shown in the file to the right hand side of this page.

Being a member is an affordable way to help keep you and your family healthy, through a range of preventative wellbeing services and access to the right care at the right time. There are 6 levels of Health Shield membership to choose from, starting from as little as £1.25 per week. Membership fees are deducted from your salary.

  • Cover is available for you, your partner and your dependent children (up to the age of 21 in full time education). Cover provides separate annual maximums for yourself and for each additional person.
