Standard Life Healthcare is to launch a health and well-being service to individual and corporate private medical insurance (PMI) customers.

The offering will give customers the chance to have a regular online health check.

Standard Life Healthcare chief executive Mike Hall said the government was widely publicising its initiative to improve the nation's health and the CBI has put sickness absence costs at £11.6bn a year. "This benefit will add tremendous value to the PMI proposition intermediaries are putting before their clients," said Hall.

A CD-Rom will help brokers sell the service.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
