About this talk

8 million people in the UK are living with long-term chronic health conditions, many of whom will still be in some form of work. In this webinar we will discuss this challenge, look at the insight and what support is available to help with this. We’ll be joined by Richard Wyatt-Haines, founder of HCI Digital and provider of the CONNECTPlus app. CONNECTPlus provides tools and resources for employees to help them manage their general health, as well as long-term conditions. The app provides interactive access to clinically approved information and tools with the ultimate aim to empower employees to look after themselves more effectively – both at home and in the work environment.

Malcolm Padgett, Director of Paginator Ltd

I am so proud to announce the Protect Association will be having a remote panel discussion event for our members and our Linked In group with three Protect Association company members represented at the highest levels of their management.
It starts at 3.00pm until 4.00pm on Wednesday 28th February. The subject is the FCA’s handling of the GAP Insurance market, where several firms have agreed to suspend sales of GAP. Plus other current issues related to the motor market insurance products.
Sheldon Mills, FCA Executive Director of Consumers and Competition, has highlighted that providing fair value to customers is an expectation of the FCA under Consumer Duty. Therefore, whilst this initial action relates to GAP insurance, all financial services firms should pay attention to its implications.
Hosted by our latest company member Insurance Compliance Services Limited. We have Jill Hambley their MD, and Tony Darwall, their Head of London Markets.
Also on the panel will be Nick Mohan CEO of Jackson Lee Underwriting who run the BIBA Gap Insurance Scheme, and Nick McDonald, Director of The Compliance Guys.
To all our Protect Association members and our Protect Association Linked In group, please do join us for this event. by sending your email addresses to me at steve.devine@protect-aci.org.uk. I will then send you the link to join the meeting.
If you are not a Protect Association member yet, you would still be welcome to join us. So, please do email me and I will send you the link to join the event.
Our annual membership is just £175 for an individual, or £455 for a company membership. New members are always very welcome. Please contact me for an application form.
