Optimise Your Risk Profile And Insurances

Our team of health and social care specialists help clients optimise their insurance programmes. Risk deep-dives enable us to present effective risk profiles to insurers, respond to emerging risks and directly support risk improvement efforts.

The sector is complicated and complex as is healthcare insurance. Our approach to programme management focusses on guiding clients - and enhancing underwriters’ understanding of how clients manage all facets of risk, especially patient and staff safety.

Our client teams support all elements of insurance programmes with dedicated client managers and risk consultants. Importantly this includes clinical negligence and medical malpractice policy wording analysis. Specialist healthcare broking and claims advocacy colleagues drive successful client outcome.

Healthcare Risk Consulting

Our team have delivered consulting services to private providers and NHS Trusts over many years and are familiar with acute, community, mental health and learning disability risks. We engage at board level, providing insight, advice and strategy. 

Having reviewed thousands of incident reports and investigations and worked closely with teams investigating unexpected deaths and other serious incidents, we are fully conversant in the complexities of healthcare service delivery.

Top 5 Current UK Risks

According to our latest Global Risk Management Survey, the biggest risks facing the Healthcare Providers and Services industry include:

  • 01

    Cyber Attack or Data Breach

    Cyber attacks are, and will remain, a top risk across all geographies and industry sectors. All leaders need a cyber game plan.

  • 02

    Workforce Shortage

    Skilled and unskilled staff shortages remain acute in many industries, even as more companies pursue layoffs.

  • 03

    Failure to Attract or Retain Staff

    Employee expectations are changing. Organisations are increasingly in competition not only with other providers but also other sectors. Finding meaningful ways to differentiate is key to attracting and retaining staff.

  • 04

    Regulatory or Legislative Changes

    Uncertainty about upcoming regulatory changes, especially against a backdrop of changing governments, affects business confidence. It can be onerous to track and comply with shifting regulatory requirements.

  • 05

    Rising Healthcare Costs

    The cost of healthcare and employee-sponsored benefits is rising for employers and employees alike. The cost of delivering healthcare services continues to increase at a time of financial pressure and budget constraints.
