Latest news from Zurich
We're excited to introduce new enhancements to our ZGP24 service, provided by HealthHero, helping to support your clients to create a healthier workplace.
What's new?
Your clients and their employees now have access to three additional health and wellbeing features, now available through the ZGP24 app:
Online physiotherapy service
Quick, expert support for muscle, joint, and movement issues. Employees can access up to six tailored virtual sessions with qualified physiotherapists, including personalised exercise plans and ongoing guidance, helping to improve movement and physical health in the long term.
Dietitian and nutrition service
Personalised advice for digestive health, energy, weight management, and more. Employees can speak directly with a qualified dietitian online or by phone for practical, tailored nutrition support.
Symptom checker
Guidance whenever it’s needed. Employees simply answer a few questions online and receive clear, reliable recommendations for next steps, so they know where to turn for the right care.
As part of internal reorganisation within our Scheme Underwriting Structure, we are making changes to our MMB aligned Scheme Underwriting Team.
The Scheme Underwriting responsibilities for MMB will transfer to Wayne Bransgrove, Alex Birrell and Christina Sanders.
We appreciate the strong relationships you have with the current SUW Team, Anne, Deb and Owen and understand that continuity of service is important. To ensure a smooth transition, any new or existing schemes they are currently working on will continue to be managed by them and the new team with immediate effect, will pick up anything else. Anne, Deb and Owen will also be around to support the new team with queries they may have on some of the more complex schemes.
Explore our expert guides to help you understand the signs, risks, and diagnosis process for different types of cancer.
