Time your policy to start exactly when your NHS sick pay steps down.
NHS occupational sick pay typically steps down from full pay to half pay and then ends, with the length depending on your service. A deferment period can be set so your policy starts paying just as your sick pay reduces.
Nurses, midwives, paramedics, healthcare assistants, porters and admin staff can all be covered — including bank and agency workers who often have little or no sick pay between shifts.
Stress, burnout and musculoskeletal injuries are among the most common reasons NHS staff are off work long-term — and they are exactly what income protection is designed to cover.
