"As the NHS faces mounting pressures, I’m looking forward to supporting employers across the UK to provide their staff with access to personalised, high-quality care that enhances health outcomes & productivity."
- Anya Roy, Co-Founder of Syrona
Employees of Healix’s member companies will have access to Syrona’s health platform via the member portal. This platform provides health tracking tools, bespoke care plans based on symptoms & lifestyle data, as well as access to personal health coaches, diagnostics, and one-to-one virtual consultation with qualified, specialist clinicians.
Syrona’s symptom tracker predicts when a person may have a red flag symptom so conditions can be treated early. Health conditions that can be treated include endometriosis, menopause, non-binary & trans care, fertility issues, and low testosterone & prostrate conditions.
Employees will also have access to home testing kits to help speed up the diagnostic process, enabling them to receive treatment quicker than usual.
This partnership follows recent Office for National Statistics (ONS) data which revealed “deterioration in NHS performance” and life threatening waiting times for cancer treatment in the UK. Notably, the percentage of patients waiting longer than the 31-day standard for cancer treatment in England, Scotland & Northern Ireland has generally increased over the past twelve years. This trend can also be seen amongst patients waiting longer than the 62-day standard across the UK.
“Our partnership with Syrona comes at an important time for employees across the UK, as access to healthcare for a range of conditions is becoming increasingly challenging. If businesses want to grow, a key strategy to do so is to retain the existing workforce. We know that bespoke support can lead to faster recovery times, and a decreased likelihood of employees being out of work,” explained Ian Talbot, CEO of Healix.
He said: “It’s through partnerships such as this that we’re working to simplify healthcare for companies, enabling them to grow sustainably through a healthier, happier workforce.”
Anya Roy, Co-Founder of Syrona, added: “Both Healix and Syrona are organisations that are very clinically led and use this expertise to deliver care that is responsive and patient-centric. My struggles with gynaecological health inspired Syrona’s mission, highlighting the crucial need for swift access to high-quality, culturally sensitive healthcare.
“Our partnership extends beyond access to high-quality clinical expertise across often-overlooked areas of healthcare; we empower individuals through vital education as well. Employers are uniquely positioned to play a crucial role in guiding their workforce towards appropriate support pathways,” concluded Chantelle Bell, Co-Founder of Syrona.
