Clinical solutions that keep your employees healthy, happy and at work

What we do

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 delivers seamless, end-to-end clinical services across the UK addressing the full range of workplace health and wellbeing needs. We offer bespoke solutions and a dedicated care-coordinator for every patient with transparent real-time web based reporting for their employers.

Who we are

UKSHW is a completely independent company and because of this we offer employers comprehensive national solutions for all of their rehabilitation, diagnostic, and surgical requirements, with managed and supported access to the hospitals and clinicians that provide them. We been trusted to look after patients for 20 years and are trusted by companies large and small to get their employees back on their feet as quickly as possible. Each referred employee is assigned a dedicated care-coordinator, and our online employer portal gives you full access to your employee's treatment journey and clinical reports whenever you need them.
