The healthcare challenge facing businesses
First level access to healthcare is becoming a challenge with NHS GP wait times are reaching 2 weeks & projected to worsen*. Furthermore, the NHS is underfunded and under-equipped to deal with the growing request for mental health support.
Sickness absence rates within SMEs have increased by 55% since 2019. Over 17million working days are lost annually to mental health related absences with burnout alone costing UK businesses £700 million per year.
The Deloitte report estimates that poor mental health costs employers between £2,200 to £5,500 per employee.
The emphasis on keeping people well is being pushed to employers.

What our clients say
Medstars worked with the our HR department to help an engineer who had been a long term sick leave with a painful hand resulting from a previous hand bone fracture that had failed to heal.
Medstars sourced an expert second opinion from an orthopedic hand surgeon, resulting in better pain management and a return to work on the production line.
My appointment went really well and exceeded my expectations. I have since had the necessary tests and on-going investigations required to investigate the issue at hand.
Medstars GP Service has been considerate and extremely
efficient, cost effective, through and professional. They follow up anything within a few days, but often within a matter of hours
Prompt efficient service in a time of absolute need, we cannot praise Medstars enough as they give hope in times of crisis and despair.
Our meeting with the recommended consultant confirmed there were other forms of treatment which would be of benefit.
The old adage, you get what you pay for, might spring to mind, but it really does not matter, most importantly it has
given us hope.
We will always be so grateful to Medstars & the consultant, you were there in our darkest hour with support and detailed assistance.
