In today’s competitive job market, businesses are looking for meaningful ways to attract and retain top talent—while genuinely supporting their employees' wellbeing.

One increasingly popular and cost-effective solution is WPA’s NHS Top-Up Scheme, available for businesses with just three or more employees.

What Is the WPA NHS Top-Up Scheme?

This flexible scheme allows employees to claim back money on everyday health expenses like:

  • Dental check-ups

  • Eye tests and glasses

  • Physiotherapy

These are the real-life, routine costs that often get put off—yet directly affect how employees feel day to day.

More Than Just Reimbursement

This scheme is far more than a cashback plan. It also includes:

  • 24/7 Remote GP Access: Employees and their families can speak to a UK-based GP anytime, from anywhere. No waiting. No stress.

  • Employee Assistance Programme (EAP): A confidential helpline with access to mental health support, financial advice, and more.

Why It Matters

We often talk about looking after our people—but how are we doing it in practice?

By offering WPA’s NHS Top-Up scheme, you’re:

  • Promoting preventative care

  • Supporting mental health and resilience

  • Encouraging employees to prioritise their wellbeing

  • Showing your team that their health really does matter

And the best part? It’s affordable, scalable, and available to small teams—not just large corporates.

Final Thoughts

You don’t need a massive benefits budget to make a real difference. With WPA’s NHS Top-Up scheme, you're giving your employees genuine support, both physically and mentally. It’s a simple step—but a powerful one.

Let’s talk about how this could work for your business.
