Protect your practice for shortfalls in sickness locum funding

MIAB’s innovative ‘Top Up’ Locum policy blends the benefits of the NHS GP Sickness Reimbursement with Locum Insurance. As a GP Practice, use MIAB’s Locum Insurance to cover additional costs and any shortfall from NHS Sickness payments. And, as always, their expert team is on standby to explain your options to you.

Here is what one of our clients said:

“… You were extremely clear in explaining how the policy would work alongside the Health Board cover, particularly in outlining how it functions as a top-up rather than a replacement. Overall, your service was very professional and very helpful, and I would be happy to recommend you to any of my Practice Manager colleagues.”

Keeping practice supply simple

Managing practice supply can take up more time than it should – particularly when orders need chasing, deliveries vary, and issues take time to resolve.

Hillcroft supports practices with a more proactive, hands-on approach, helping ensure supply is consistent, responsive and easier to manage day to day.

That means:

  • 🚚 Reliable delivery you can depend on.
  • 🤝 Fast, proactive support when needed.
  • 💻 A wide product range in one place.
  • 🩺 A team that works closely with practices.

The result is a more reliable, joined-up way to manage supply – and one less thing for your team to worry about.

As a Londonwide LMCs Buying Group member, you also have access to exclusive pricing and rebate opportunities across a wide range of products.

If you’d like to explore how this could work for your practice, they would be happy to help, please email hello@hillcroftsupplies.com or visit their website below.
