Unlocking health savings: Making private healthcare more accessible for businesses and their teams
Written by Emma Dean from The Health Card
Across the UK, healthcare access is changing.
NHS waiting times are at record highs, many services are overstretched, and some treatments are no longer routinely available through the public system.
As a result, more people are turning to private healthcare. Not as a luxury, but as a necessity.
At The Health Card, we believe that accessing trusted quality care should not depend on wealth or circumstance.
Our mission is to make private healthcare more accessible, more affordable, and more connected, thus helping individuals, families, and businesses take control of their health and wellbeing.
What is The Health Card?
The Health Card isn’t insurance - it is a simple, affordable annual membership that gives instant access to discounts of up to 20 per cent across a growing network of trusted private healthcare and wellness clinics and services.
Our initial focus is Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield and Solihull, with future plans to extend these benefits UK-wide.
Members can save on:
- GP and specialist consultations
- Scans, blood tests, and health checks
- Mental health and wellbeing services, including ADHD/autism assessments
- Dental care, including cosmetic treatments
- Medical Aesthetics
- Optical care, including prescription glasses
- Physiotherapy
- Audiology
- Massage Therapy
- Fitness & Nutrition
There are no claims, no hidden fees, and no waiting lists…just instant access to private healthcare at reduced prices.
Why It matters for businesses and chamber members
1 Supporting staff wellbeing and retention
Businesses of all sizes are realising that employee wellbeing is not just a benefit; it is a necessity.
With healthcare delays and mental health pressures rising, giving staff easier access to private care helps reduce absenteeism, boost morale, and build loyalty.
2 A cost-effective alternative to private insurance
Comprehensive private medical insurance can be costly, especially for small and medium-sized businesses.
The Health Card offers a practical, low-cost alternative, allowing employers to support their teams’ health without the financial strain.
3 Promoting healthier, more resilient communities
By working together - through Chambers of Commerce, business networks, and local partnerships - we can improve access to healthcare across our regions. Supporting healthier teams means supporting stronger, more resilient local economies.
4 Wellness beyond healthcare
The Health Card also includes access to wellness providers such as physiotherapists, nutritionists, counsellors, and fitness experts. Wellbeing isn’t just about treating illness - it’s about preventing it.
