United Utilities
UU Cares About The Health And Wellbeing Of Their Colleagues And We Work Together To Ensure We Provide Easy Access And The Best Possible Care.
There are multiple ways in which you can access our services as a UU colleague. Whether you are based at the head office Lingley Mere site, in a call centre in Whitehaven or out in the field, you can access our services as part of your employee benefits.
WPA
You can utilise your colleague healthcare scheme for physiotherapy and we’ll bill WPA directly, leaving you to focus on your treatment and getting pain-free. Depending on the scheme you’re on (colleague or management) you have varying levels of cover for Physio treatment:
- Colleague (Basic) = £250 per year
- Colleague (Top up) = £500 per year
- Management = up to 10 sessions per condition (when direct via WPA with GP referral)
Workstation Assessments
We work with United Utilities to provide Workstation assessments for colleagues working from home. Due to the current pandemic many of UU’s colleagues were moved to working from home. To ensure colleagues have the correct set up and equipment to prevent injury we carry out a detailed assessment of the colleagues workstation set up and provide recommendations via a report back to their line manager. For more information on the DSE/workstation process please visit the UU internal intranet “Pipeline”.
If you are interested in this service for your own company please email us at hello@physiolounge.co.uk for more information.
Occupational Health
United Utilities use Optima for all occupational health referrals. When a colleague is referred via occupational health for physiotherapy treatment they will be contacted by a third party company called IPRS. We are registered as a physiotherapy practice with the IPRS supply chain and are able to provide treatment for all UU employees via this method. Colleagues must request to be seen at The Physio Lounge, Lingley Mere if you would like to be seen by one of our team. Otherwise, you may be sent elsewhere.
Accepted Insurance
We accept all major healthcare insurers, if you don’t see yours listed don’t worry, we may still be able to help, just get in touch and we’ll do what we can to help!
