Poor health at work hits productivity and morale. Absence and presenteeism linked to health issues cost UK businesses billions each year, so giving staff quick access to high‑quality medical care is smart business. If you are in Saffron Walden and want a tax‑efficient employee benefit that staff actually use, Mayfield Clinic offers corporate healthcare benefits no BIK that combine fast access to GPs with continuity of care from a named doctor.
Under current UK tax rules employers can provide each employee with one health screening assessment and one medical check‑up per tax year without it being treated as a taxable benefit in kind (BIK). That means no income tax or National Insurance is due on these specific services when supplied correctly. For local employers based in or near Saffron Walden this creates an immediate, tax‑efficient way to support staff health and wellbeing.
Our corporate health services are designed for clarity, speed and measurable outcomes. Employers can choose single annual medicals or a more comprehensive employee health screening programme. Key elements include:
Many Saffron Walden employers prefer a single, straightforward pathway: book a company screening day at your office, or arrange appointments for staff at our Cambridge clinic. Our Cambridge location is a short drive from Saffron Walden and is set up to receive corporate patients quickly. We handle scheduling, pre‑screening questionnaires and results management so your HR team spends less time organising and more time focusing on people.
Offering a tax‑free employee health check is more than a perk. Early detection of conditions reduces long‑term sickness, improves retention and shows staff you invest in their future. For businesses in Saffron Walden, a properly administered tax‑exempt screening is a visible, low‑administration benefit that helps with recruitment and wellbeing objectives.
Fast access matters. So does seeing the same doctor over time. Mayfield Clinic prioritises regular access to a named GP — this improves clinical decision making, shortens follow‑up time and builds trust. Employees in Saffron Walden who start their assessment at our Cambridge clinic can continue with the same clinician for follow‑up appointments, blood result discussions and lifestyle support.
We tailor our corporate packages. Options include:
We can also develop long‑term corporate membership packages and wider wellness programmes that sit outside the BIK exemption but provide valuable ongoing support.
Employees receive a full individual report. HR can receive anonymised summary data to track workforce health trends and evaluate programme impact — only with explicit employee consent. This helps Saffron Walden employers target support where it matters while respecting confidentiality.
“A practical, tax‑efficient health check demonstrates corporate responsibility and delivers clear benefits to both staff and the bottom line.”

Yes. For employers in Saffron Walden, one health screening and one medical check‑up per employee each tax year can be provided without being treated as a taxable benefit in kind, so no income tax or National Insurance is due on those specific services when supplied correctly. Mayfield Clinic can help structure the screening to meet HMRC guidance and provide the necessary documentation.
Saffron Walden employers can choose on‑site screening days or appointments at our Cambridge clinic (where Saffron Walden patients are usually seen). We offer comprehensive employee health checks, extensive blood tests and named GP continuity. Bookings are made online via the Book now button; members can also book directly by phone or WhatsApp.
A corporate health screening can be part of a wider benefits package. While the one tax‑exempt screening and one medical check‑up per year are protected from BIK, additional services (for example ongoing GP access, membership or occupational health) can be offered but may not be tax‑exempt. We can advise Saffron Walden businesses on tax‑efficient structuring and provide corporate membership options to expand employee healthcare benefits.
