The cost of absenteeism to the UK economy is £14bn per annum. That’s £554 for every single employee. Often a timely, inexpensive clinical intervention would result in a more rapid recovery and significant savings of lost productivity. When it takes an average of 6 weeks to see an NHS physiotherapist and from 3 months to 2 years to access NHS psychological support, an employer who is prepared to invest a modest amount to get their employees back to work more quickly will surely see that investment repaid many times over.

UKSHW provides a key-turn solution for most case management requirements, enabling you to deliver a holistic package for your patients without having to coordinate multiple providers.
Many charities and benevolent funds simply allow their members to organise their own treatments and then submit claims for reimbursement. This leads to member stress, inflated costs and unnecessary administrative burden. UKSHW can find a local provider for members' treatment needs with the benefit of volume-purchaser pricing. We'll also make the whole journey stress-free for your members - a care coordinator will manage the process from instruction, arranging appointment dates, handling queries and invoices through to delivering the results to their GP or Consultant.
UKSHW is the direct link between your patient and the treatment they need and so we’re in the perfect position to help you resolve wellbeing issues quickly and efficiently, saving you management time and cost. Through our customer portal, you are then able to monitor the status of your patient's treatment at any time, with real-time access to specialist reports and progress updates as and when you need them.
