Private medical cover gives you access to private healthcare services, often from diagnosis through to treatment. Depending on the level of cover, you’ll typically pay a monthly or annual fee.

For many people, this cost is covered by their employer as part of a staff benefits package. However, individual policies are also available for those who prefer to arrange their own cover. Some plans may also extend to include your partner, spouse, or children - though this depends on the specific terms of the policy.
