John Smith CEO at Ultrasis said "Our stated mission is to combine the very best of health technology and high quality face to face services. This is the first example of the way that the new Ultrasis Group will help to shape the future of health care delivery in the UK and drive forward our strategy to become one of the UK's premier health care companies."

He added "Benenden and BMI Healthcare are high quality, recognised brands and we are delighted to be working in partnership with both of them to offer health assessments to the Benenden membership and the wider public. The contract was awarded following a very competitive process which saw the Ultrasis Group win over market leading companies. In addition to offering assessments directly to Benenden members, we will also work with Benenden Wellbeing to target their corporate customers with a similar range of health and wellbeing services."

Jon Craven, Managing Director at Benenden Wellbeing said: "We are delighted to launch our health assessments service which has been developed to provide a comprehensive insight into the state of an individual's health - offering them time to discuss their health concerns and receive personalised recommendations on how to make changes and look to improve their own health and wellbeing."

He added "Being proactive about your health and wellbeing is really important and our health assessments can help spot early signs of conditions and health issues, which may otherwise have gone unnoticed. Being aware of potential health risks can also help individuals take action to improve and gain peace of mind by better understanding their health."
