Grants for pioneering research
Original: Grants for pioneering research
Grants of up to £20,000 are to be made available to encourage medical researchers to put their ideas into practice. Private health care providers Bupa are making the money available as part of the Philip Poole-Wilson Seed Corn Fund. The organisation was established and named after the governor of the charity that carries out independent medical research died in March this year. The money will primarily be aimed at pilot studies, especially those that haven't had any financial backing in the past or could be used to bring together a team to bring a research proposal into reality. These new studies are vital for science and the innovation of new techniques that could improve the healthcare of patients in the future, especially for private health care patients. It is these that will eventually have access to these new treatments and technique private clinics, which are used primarily by private health insurance policy holders.

Google could store NHS medical records
Original: Google could store NHS medical records
NHS patient records could be stored by a private company like Google if plans put forward by the Tories get the go ahead.

They are due to announce the results of a review in the next few weeks which is likely to consider handing over medical records to Google or Microsoft. It means that patients could potentially access their records from a home computer, and the Conservatives say that this system would be more secure because patients have to give their permission before NHS staff can access their records.

Employees across the UK have a lot to look forward to in the next year despite the apparent doom and gloom surrounding businesses during the recession. Over one in five employers have said they plan to increase the healthcare benefits available to their workforce during the coming year according to an annual survey carried out by Employee Benefits magazine. Costs are being cut in all areas of businesses at the moment but it seems that private health insurance is one area that is still considered a priority by managers and company owners. The health of a company's workforce may not be immediately considered to be essential to success but it can ultimately affect eff ly to work harder and less likely to leave the company, reducing time and hassle in finding a replacement.

Budget is best
Original: Budget is best
The bigger the better – the well-known phrase that many of us live by, either consciously or subconsciously when making decisions every day of our lives whether that's choosing between the 8oz or 16oz steak or which level of private medical cover to opt for. Before the recession took hold last year, people may have decided that a fully comprehensive policy was best for them with every possible situation covered. But since then, people have begun to opt out of certain aspects of their policy such as extra alternative therapies or physiotherapy, especially as premiums have begun to rise. But Stuart Scullion, spokesman for The Private Health Partnership told Health Insur ts on any of its policies. This means that no matter how much their customers pay each month, they will still have access to the same number of treatment centres across the UK. This increases the chance that a person will be able to be cared for in a place and time that is most convenient to them.

PMI claims on the up
Original: PMI claims on the up
The number of people claiming on private medical insurance policies has increased. The latest figures have been released in a report by employee benefits consultants Mercer. They found that 3 percent more people made a claim compared to 2007. They compared results from 250 of the largest companies in the UK to come up with the data. It's thought that the increase came partly as a result of a rise in medical inflation. Not only this, but people are believed to have been taking advantage of their existing private medical cover as part of their job while they still had it, either because they feared losing their job or just their employee benefits.

According to a new report published by Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, up to 350,000 public sector workers including nurses could face the tough job cuts between 2010/2011 and 2014/2015. It's all because of the government's plans to tighten budgets across the board including the NHS.

£15bn NHS shortfall predicted
Original: £15bn NHS shortfall predicted
The NHS can expect to have a shortfall of £15 billion over the space of five years according to the NHS confederation. The shortfall is likely to come following 2011 when the era of big spending will come to a sudden end. The problem has arisen from the culmination of a number of factors, including the recession, lower increases in budgets as well as rising costs. Top health service managers have warned this week in a report at the annual NHS confederation conference in Liverpool that action needs to be taken now to prevent bosses having to make major cuts when the shortfall comes into effect. Steve Barnett, the confederation's Chief Executive told The Telegraph, "Shortages in funding will translate to the kind of across the board cuts which could see waiti f costs aren't put in for the NHS, which the government will work very hard to avoid, quality of treatment may suffer if bosses like Steve Barnett's fears are confirmed. People who would like to be treated in a clinic where quality is guaranteed may like to take out a quote for private medical insurance to allow them access to private hospitals who are not affected by budget cuts in such a way as the NHS.

Consultants cost the government millions
Original: Consultants cost the government millions
The government has lost millions of pounds in using private consultants to give advice to primary care trusts. The idea was aimed to save the NHS money but in fact it has cost the health service over £21 million. The figures have been released this week through Department of Health documents and just prove that the Government's Framework for Procuring External Support for Commissioners (FESC) initiative has not achieved its goal to make efficient savings. Health publication 'Pulse' found that spending on private consultants had tripled over the past two years since it was launched, costing a total of £39.4 million but only bringing in £17.5 million worth of savings. This is money that could have been spent in another department of the NHS for example on buying new equipment. Dr Jonathan Fielden, chair of the BMA's c in the same way. Being treated by the latest healthcare equipment and medicines could reduce recovery time and get patients back to full health in the shortest period possible which is inevitably a priority for most people when they undergo an operation or fall ill.![]()

The NHS celebrated its 60th birthday last year and has long been celebrated as a successful healthcare system, widely respected by other countries across the world, especially those that can't or don't provide free healthcare to their people. So why should people in the UK consider private health insurance then? The fact is that 7 million people in the UK are now covered by some level of private medical insurance, may be caused by the fact that the NHS sometimes struggles to meet with demand particularly because of increased pressure from government targets. The answer for many people is to turn to the alternative.

Self pay is a way to have access to top quality private treatment but on a pay as you go basis.

PMI difficult to cut back on
Original: PMI difficult to cut back on
Private medical insurance is one of the hardest things to cut back on during the recession. That's according to the director of Bupa UK Health Insurance. Fiona Harris told the Yorkshire Post that people find it the most difficult to cut back on their private health cover, even over other items such as holidays, eating out and pensions and long term savings. This may be because they don't want to lose the peace of mind that comes with a private health insurance policy, knowing that top quality healthcare is available as and when they need it. Poor health is not something that can be predicted, particularly as a result of an accident so a lot of people are reassure n used to pay for private treatment to be used to cover other costs incurred by the illness, such as travel.

The British Insurance Broker's Association (Biba) say that PMI could help keep a business healthy, as well as its staff. With many companies doing their best to keep going in the recession, it's no wonder that more and more bosses are looking to take moves to benefit their business and a corporate private medical health insurance policy could be just one way of doing so. Peter Staddon, head of technical services at Biba, told ClickAJob: "It is a much althier workforce.

UK's ageing workforce
Original: UK's ageing workforce
The workforce in the UK is getting older and employers need to take active steps to look after their workers health. That's the message coming from Bupa after a report was published predicting the average age for a worker to be 43 by 2030. In forty years time we can also expect to see the average retiring age at 68.
