Tax-efficient corporate healthcare: No BIK private GP for Royston businesses

Introduction

Offering a tax-efficient health benefit need not be complicated. Employers can provide each employee with one health screening assessment and one medical check-up per tax year that are exempt from Benefit in Kind (BIK) rules — meaning no income tax or National Insurance is due on these specific benefits. For Royston businesses looking to improve staff wellbeing and reduce absenteeism, a focused corporate health screening from Mayfield Clinic delivers quick access to trusted doctors and continuity of care with the same named GP.

How the BIK exemption works for corporate healthcare

Under current UK tax guidance, employers may provide employees with one health screening and one medical check-up per tax year without creating a taxable benefit. That makes a standard annual medical or health screening an attractive, tax-free addition to any company benefits package. Mayfield Clinic’s corporate health services are designed to fit within this exemption and to deliver genuine clinical value — not just a superficial check-box exercise.

What we provide for Royston employers

Mayfield Clinic offers a complete suite of services suitable for businesses across Royston and surrounding areas. Our corporate options include:

• Comprehensive annual medicals and health screenings tailored to company risk profiles;
• Extensive blood testing panels and biometric checks to identify early risk markers;
• Detailed physical examinations and lifestyle consultations with clear, actionable recommendations;
• Named GP continuity so each employee sees the same clinician over time;
• Confidential individual reports for employees and consented summary reporting for HR teams;
• Flexible delivery: on-site screening days for larger teams, clinic appointments at our Cambridge practice, or a hybrid model.

Although we promote this content for Royston businesses, clinical appointments are delivered from our Cambridge practice — see our Cambridge location here: Mayfield Clinic Cambridge. For local information, Royston readers can visit our Royston page: Mayfield Clinic Royston.

Why choose a private GP-led corporate programme?

Private GP-led screening gives rapid access to clinicians, clarity of results and continuity: the same named GP tracks progress year-to-year. That continuity improves clinical interpretation and personalised follow-up. Our corporate medicals move beyond a simple risk score — they prioritise interventions that reduce sickness absence and help retain staff in busy commuter towns such as Royston, where many employees work in or commute to Cambridge’s life-sciences and tech sectors.

"A targeted health assessment can reveal risk factors long before symptoms appear, allowing early interventions that protect your workforce and your bottom line."

Practical delivery: how Mayfield Clinic works with your business

We design programmes to suit your size and budget. Typical options include:

• On-site screening days for companies across Royston with a concise employee schedule and secure data handling;
• Booked appointments for employees at our Cambridge clinic for more detailed annual medicals;
• Membership and wider corporate healthcare packages for businesses wanting broader access beyond the BIK-exempt checks.

All appointments should be booked online via the Book now button on our site. Members can also book directly by phone or via WhatsApp for faster scheduling.

Reporting, confidentiality and HR tools

Each employee receives a clear, personalised clinical report. With informed consent, we provide aggregated summary reports to HR that highlight trends without identifying individuals. This balance helps Royston employers make evidence-based decisions about workplace health while protecting employee privacy.

Extending benefits beyond the BIK exemption

For businesses wanting to offer more than the tax-exempt annual check, we build corporate membership schemes and wider corporate GP services. These can include priority appointments, rapid access referrals, occupational-health style assessments and bespoke wellbeing programmes designed for companies in Royston and the wider Cambridge commuter belt.
