I’ve had a really positive experience…

I’ve had a really positive experience with Benenden Health. Using the app and the telephone GP consultation was straightforward and convenient. The doctor listened carefully to my symptoms, helped diagnose the likely cause of my knee pain, and explained everything clearly.

I really appreciated being signposted to self-help YouTube videos with exercises and advice to help manage my symptoms. The recommendations were easy to follow and gave me practical ways to start improving my knee pain straight away.

The whole process was quick, professional, and reassuring. It’s great to have access to healthcare advice without having to wait for a face-to-face appointment. I would definitely recommend Benenden Health to anyone looking for accessible and supportive healthcare.

Benenden every time!

I waited over 6 months for a two week urgent appointment on the NHS they called two days after I had my operation at Beneden offering me s telephone consultation. How much longer would I have had to wait, in pain, for the operation? Benenden were efficient, caring and did the job well. So very happy I joined Benenden

Great value, affordable health care.

I have been very satisfied and impressed with the services my husband and I have had from Benenden since joining several years ago. These include consultant appointments, x rays, one minor surgical procedure and two GP consultations. I have no hesitation in recommending it as a worthwhile and very good value health insurance policy.
