Health & Wellbeing

Market-leading occupational health and wellbeing support, provided by our trusted partners Smart Clinic

Introduction

We know that managing your workforce is about more than just insurance. You also need measures in place to reduce teacher absences and support absent staff back into work. That’s why over the last six years we have been at the forefront of providing schools with access to industry leading occupational health and wellbeing support.

Giving employees immediate access to health and wellbeing support services is a great way to reduce lost working days, ease staff related costs, increase moral and improve productivity amongst your workforce. Taking out a staff absence insurance policy with us entitles all insured members of staff to health and wellbeing support services, at no additional cost to your school’s insurance policy.

However, if your school has opted against staff absence insurance this year but would still like support maintaining the health and wellbeing of your staff, we can help.

Our trusted partners Smart Clinic are perfectly placed to assist you with this. They employ a team of highly trained and friendly health experts with a proven track record of helping school staff overcome any physical or mental health challenges they are facing.

Smart Clinic provide tailored healthcare solutions using a mixture of face-to-face, personal healthcare and digital wellbeing solutions. Together, these create a best-in-class service, ensuring fast, proactive support with effective results.

What’s more, Smart Clinic offer three packages to choose from, as well as the option to create a bespoke package to suit your school’s specific challenges, requirements and budget. This allows you to get the support you need at a price you can afford.

Who are Smart Clinic?

Smart Clinic is a specialist provider of occupational health and wellbeing packages to schools, academies and colleges throughout the UK.

Like us, Smart Clinic specialise in the education sector and so understand the unique set of health challenges facing members of staff within schools.

They address the two most significant challenges schools face when it comes to staffing; budgetary restrictions and time challenges. This means that schools can’t afford staff absences, but do not always have time to put the necessary provisions in place to reduce or manage them.

Smart Clinic’s team includes physicians, nurses, therapists and client support assistants. They work directly with the management team in your school to reduce staff absences, and offer all members of staff the opportunity to self-refer and engage directly with their wellbeing services.

Their services include counselling, physiotherapy, a 24- hour helpline, wellbeing sessions, occupational health assessments and much more.
