My company’s employees have benefitted from DOCTORnow membership for several years now. We work in a fast paced industry, and we are particularly impressed with the ease with which our team can speak to and see a Doctor quickly. This is an invaluable service and one that brings significant savings and efficiencies to our business, the benefits easily outweighing the cost. The Wellwoman and Wellman health screening service is also an important benefit for my more senior personnel. Screening helps with early identification of any issues and enables them to proactively manage their health and wellbeing.

If a member of the 5G team becomes unwell, the company is able to quickly arrange for them to be seen by a GP at the Beaconsfield Clinic.
This means that the employee does not have to worry about having to wait for an appointment and possibly ending up feeling more unwell in the meantime, affecting both their work and their home life. Having fast access to a GP enables their health issue to be identified and dealt with as soon as possible.
Benefits
- Fast access to GP appointments and extended surgery opening hours – 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday and 9pm to 4pm on Saturdays
- Fast turnaround of diagnostic test results to aid diagnosis
- Employees feel well supported by the company and are helped back to health as soon as possible
- Reduces the amount of sickness absence and both the pressure such absence puts on the rest of the team and the cost to the business
