Nuffield Proactive Health

Measuring the Benefits

What is the business case for an on-site GP service? For any organisation that has a large number of high value employees in a single location, there is a compelling case for the provision of on-site GP services. An analysis of average numbers of days spent absent from the office (for example half-days to pick up repeat prescriptions) multiplied by average cost to the business of that absence (not unusual to be in the region of £500 per day) multiplied by the numbers of staff within an organisation provides the opportunity cost of providing a GP. Add to this the positive benefits of convenience and an appreciation of staff that their employer has demonstrated a tangible concern for their welfare.

A regular on-site private GP session is a "win-win" for employee and employer alike. For the employees there is the convenience, the quality of care and a clear commitment by the company to their health and wellbeing. For the employer, there is the early intervention that can reduce the severity of issues, as well as the employee taking less time out of the office.

An experienced Nuffield Proactive Health GP can visit your premises for one or several sessions per week to provide a full range of primary healthcare services. The same GP will attend throughout to ensure continuity of care and a real understanding of the culture of your organisation.
