Cirencester Friendly has launched YourHalo to its income protection members.

YourHalo (Your Health and Lifestyle Options will be delivered by health and wellbeing specialist, Healthcare RM, and will provide over 43,000 Cirencester Friendly members with access to Healthcare RM’s team of health professionals for advice and support.

This support is available across a broad spectrum of health and wellbeing issues, including musculoskeletal, nutrition, sleep and physical activity & exercise.

YourHalo is available to all new and existing members at no additional cost. Appointments can be booked either online, or by calling a dedicated local-rate phone line. Appointments typically last around 30 minutes and are delivered remotely by video or phone, according to the member’s preference.

When appropriate, Healthcare RM’s practitioners, including physiotherapists, sports therapists, nutritionists, fitness specialists and sleep experts, will complete a ‘biopsychosocial’ assessment to obtain a holistic picture of the variables that may be influencing a person’s health, considering biological, psychological and social factors.

The YourHalo service can be used by Cirencester Friendly members at any time during the lifetime of their membership.

Paul Nattrass, commercial director at Healthcare RM, said: “We are absolutely delighted to partner with Cirencester Friendly to provide access to YourHalo for members. YourHalo is more than just an added value service and I believe will add meaningful and tangible benefits for members.

“Our practitioners understand that maintaining good all-round health is multi-faceted and YourHalo provides a one-stop shop for members to obtain expert advice and support to help them address any symptoms, and to help people adopt and maintain healthy habits.”

David Macgregor, commercial director at Cirencester Friendly, added: “This exciting partnership with Healthcare RM is another example of our commitment to provide class leading products, backed with additional benefits that can be accessed at any time, and not just at claim.

“Helping our members to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle is very important, and especially so as we all continue to endure the effects of the pandemic.”
