Corporate healthcare benefits no BIK – Private GP services for Saffron Walden

Introduction

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.

What does “no BIK” mean for employers in Saffron Walden?

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.

What Mayfield Clinic offers your business

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:

• Comprehensive annual medicals and health screenings (physical exam, extensive blood testing, ECG where needed)
• Lifestyle consultations and personalised health plans
• Same named GP where possible to ensure continuity of care and faster follow‑ups
• Detailed individual health reports for employees and summary reporting for HR (with employee consent)
• Flexible delivery: on‑site screening days, clinic appointments at our Cambridge practice, or a hybrid approach

How this works practically for Saffron Walden businesses

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.

Why tax‑exempt health screenings make business sense

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.

Continuity of care: the named GP advantage

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.

On‑site or clinic — flexible delivery

We tailor our corporate packages. Options include:

• On‑site health screening days for offices in and around Saffron Walden
• Appointments at our Cambridge clinic for individuals or small groups
• Combination programmes with initial screening on‑site and follow‑up at the clinic

We can also develop long‑term corporate membership packages and wider wellness programmes that sit outside the BIK exemption but provide valuable ongoing support.

Reporting and data: what HR needs to know

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.”
