We have four digital health offerings designed to empower students to prioritise their health and wellbeing!

• Digital physiotherapy assessment and support: Assess any condition in minutes and get the right care: track your progress and adapt the physiotherapy to your ability. 45% of users start treatment within 1 hour of injury and 90% of users report less pain within 1 week.

• Digital dentistry support and helpline: Covering over 3 million lives and over 22,000 companies¹, you will have on-demand chat support from UK dentists, a symptom checker and supporting self-care resources.

• Digital skin cancer screening app: 1 in 4 men and 1 in 5 women will develop a form of skin cancer at least once in their lifetime in the UK². The 5 year survival rate is up to 99% if caught at stage I³, but only 22.5% at stage IV⁴. Our skin cancer screening app will help you to track your moles and identify whether any could need referral to a specialist.

• Digital eye screening: 19 million British people fail to have regular eye tests⁵. Our digital tool provides instant access to online eye screening that checks vision, astigmatism, visual field and contrast sensitivity, colour vision and depth perception.

It can be hard to get a doctors appointment or support to counselling. Your health is incredibly important and delays can worsen your health. With our Health & Wellbeing Plan you can speak to a medical professional through our GP helpline and confidential support helpline, available 24/7, 365 days a year.
