You’ll have fast access to private care locally, with the extra reassurance of knowing you can have treatment in a UK or European hospital if you ever need it.

If you can’t get the care you need on the islands, and need to travel for treatment, it helps to have a little more flexibility. So if you need treatment in the UK, our Fast Track Appointments team can book you an appointment at a time and place that works best for you – to fit in around flights, for example. All you need to do is turn up. Our team will send you some names of specialists via email to help you with your search.
There is also the option to book an appointment with the Virtual Doctor service from AXA, you can book a medical consultation with a real doctor on the phone or by video chat – at a time that suits you¹, from anywhere in the world.
A cancer diagnosis can be frightening. To support members during this stressful time, we have a dedicated cancer care team available by phone, for members receiving cancer treatment in the UK.
With years of experience in cancer support, our team can give you ideas on the questions to ask at appointments, help you decide on a treatment plan, advise on how to cope with chemotherapy, or simply be there to listen to you or your family members if you just need to talk. And they’ll continue to support you throughout recovery and beyond.
If you’ve had a diagnosis but you’re still not sure, we can get a second medical opinion2. And if your condition is serious or complex, a case manager can review your treatment, speak to your specialist directly, and answer any questions you or your family might have. It helps to remove a little of the stress, leaving you free to focus on getting better.
You’re never just a number to us. We’re completely focused on getting you access to the best possible care.
We’re here to help you 24/7. Our customer service team will be happy to help with any questions about your cover, while the medical experts on our health helpline will be ready to answer any medical queries you have.
