Are you interested in learning about private healthcare or insurance but can't find the time to do it amongst all your other pressures? This week we’re running a Q&A with Dr Doug who’s on hand to help you decide whether it's right for you. No question is too big or small for him to answer, your questions can be as simple as ‘what is it?’
Dr Doug is the Medical Director at Aviva. He joined Norwich Union Healthcare (now known as Aviva) 15 years ago from full time practice as a GP and has combined clinical background with strong commercial expertise. He has held various roles at Aviva and his role now is to ensure that Aviva makes business decisions based on a sound understanding of what is needed clinically.
Aviva says “Every day we’re faced with different pressures – whether it’s juggling our work-life balance, getting used to life with a new baby or simply finding time to deal with that pressing piece of admin. Even the most resilient amongst us needs a little support every now and again. That’s why we include a 24-hour stress counselling helpline as part of our private health insurance policy. Customers can call a specialist counsellor at any time of the day or night to talk chat through their concerns. And, if they need extra help, there’s additional specialist support available.”
Even if you’re not an Aviva customer, you can get invaluable stress management tips by following the progress of our Mumsnet bloggers as they embark on their ‘stress less’ challenge – a personal action plan developed by Aviva’s experts. You can also share your own tips on dealing with stress here.
Post your questions to Dr Doug before the end of today (Tuesday 6 May) and we’ll send over a selection and post up his answers on Monday 26 May.
