Precision CancerCare*
Our Precision CancerCare service, provided by Further, gives you and your employees (and their dependants) access to customised cancer treatment plans using the latest tumour profiling technology.
By understanding the unique genetic make-up of each cancer, tailored clinical reports and personalised guidance on treatment options are created based on the tumour’s molecular profile. This approach can improve outcomes, help reduce side effects and enhance overall quality of life.
*New policies or existing customers going through a rate retest, initially quoted from 1 April 2025, have access to the Precision CancerCare and Second Medical Opinion+ services provided by Further.
Psychological support from your Employee Assistance Programme
We also know that quite often conditions such as anxiety and depression are common after a diagnosis and can also have an understandable impact. As well as support from our in-house team, counsellors from Health Assured’s Employee Assistance Programme are on hand to provide essential support and guidance, including structured counselling and unlimited access to a 24/7 confidential helpline.
Mental wellbeing support from Thrive
Your employees can also access essential support with the Thrive mental wellbeing app. Thrive can help detect, prevent and manage stress, and pre-screen for mental health problems such as anxiety and depression, using NHS-approved assessments.
