Denplan

We are a leading healthcare company, committed to helping everybody access affordable everyday healthcare services. Our new generation of low-cost health plans and dental plans, including the market leading Denplan, look after over two million customers by helping them find, treat and fund their healthcare. 

Working with thousands of businesses and partners, we connect people to the best-in-class healthcare providers. We aim to support and protect the NHS through the provision of easily accessible healthcare to help people live their best lives.
 
We don’t have shareholders and since 1872 we’ve been led by our purpose of improving access to healthcare, for all in the UK. We are changing the game, investing millions into new businesses to accelerate the development of predictive and preventative healthcare services.  
 
We understand our health depends on the health of our communities and our planet. Each year we commit to giving a minimum of £1million to a range of health-related charities and community causes. In 2022 we became the first Health Insurer to be awarded B Corp status, in recognition of our high environmental and social ambitions and continued positive impacts in using our business as a force for good.



With a general election around the corner and 2.83m people off work due to long-term sickness, accessible healthcare for all has never been more important. To achieve this, we’re calling on the next Government to... 

1. Acknowledge low-cost health cover as an effective method of tackling in-work sickness and driving the prevention agenda. 

2. Reduce excessive tax burdens placed upon health cover products, employers and their employees. 

3. Collaborate with the health protection industry to understand and unlock the role it can play in driving a healthier nation.

According to our new research, gen Z and millennials lead the way in wanting health cover at work with ​​​6​0% saying it’s what attracted them to join their company. Our data showed that nearly eight in ten (78%) workers aged 18-34 say it is important to them that their employer provides health cover.

In today’s world, employee health cover is increasingly important. With 2.8 million people off work due to sickness (ONS 2024), there’s a real need for workers to be able to access healthcare support when they need it. But with 7.75 million people on NHS waiting lists (NHS 2023), 1 in 6 people in the UK are now turning to private healthcare. That’s why employers are increasingly being looked to, to support the health of their workforce. Find out how our Health Plans can help: https://lnkd.in/erFxqJ4X

Excited to share a glimpse of the innovation culture at Simplyhealth! 🚀

We recently hosted a one-day Hackathon that brought together a diverse, cross-functional team to harness our collective creativity and technical expertise. The result? An AI-powered chatbot integrated within Microsoft Teams, capable of fielding questions related to an internal process—all crafted within a single working day!

Leveraging low-code technology and generative AI, we grounded the chatbot's responses in existing knowledge articles, ensuring the response was both relevant and accurate. This initiative exemplifies our commitment to leveraging technology for efficiency and embodies our spirit of collaboration and continuous learning.

This achievement is just a peek into how we're using technology to transform the employee experience at Simplyhealth.

Stay tuned for more exciting developments as we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible! 💡

Thanks to all those involved on the day!
