Second Medical Opinion (SMO)
The SMO service provided offers employees an expert opinion on their diagnosis or treatment plan, drawing from a vast database of over 50,000 global medical experts. Individuals who have received recommendations or options from doctors can seek guidance and reassurance regarding their treatment plan, ensuring it aligns with the best practice and clinical evidence available.
Mental Health Navigator (MHN)
The Mental Health Navigator (MHN) provides employees with 24/7 access to a team of qualified mental health clinicians, ranging from counsellors to psychotherapists. This dedicated team assesses the employees' mental and emotional wellbeing and identifies the most suitable path forward. Where appropriate, an additional consultation with a psychologist can be offered. Expert reviews are also available to enhance understanding of existing conditions or prescribed programs.
NEW - Parent and child assessments
The Mental Health Navigator (MHN) now includes parent and child assessments. This expanded service is specifically designed to offer guidance and reassurance to parents. When necessary, it also provides comprehensive assessments of a child's mental health, accommodating individuals up to 18 years of age. Psychologists or Clinical Leads provide their expertise in this process.
Additionally, if deemed appropriate, a session of up to 90 minutes may be conducted with the child and parent(s), and in some cases, with the child alone if they are between 16 and 18 years old. Following the assessments, a detailed report is delivered, containing recommendations, self-help tools, and valuable advice on local resources.
