<p>If you’ve ever sat through a conference session and thought, “this could have been half the time” you’re not alone.</p>



<p>It’s one of the most common frustrations we hear.</p>



<p>Too much content.<br>Not enough clarity.<br>And too little that actually sticks.</p>



<p>That’s exactly why we introduced Six in Sixty at this year’s amii Summer Health &amp; Wellbeing Summit.</p>



<p>And yes. It’s deliberately different.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">So, what is Six in Sixty?</h4>



<p>Six in Sixty is a fast-paced, high-impact session designed to deliver insight without the overload. Here’s how it works:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Six expert speakers</li>



<li>10 minutes each</li>



<li>Back-to-back on the main stage</li>



<li>One focused hour of content</li>



<li>Followed by audience Q&amp;A</li>
</ul>



<p>No long intros. No drawn-out presentations. Just focused thinking, delivered with purpose.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Why it works</h4>



<p>This format is built around what attendees told us they want more of:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Clear, concise insights</li>



<li>Fresh perspectives</li>



<li>Content that respects their time</li>
</ul>



<p>Each speaker has just 10 minutes. That constraint matters.</p>



<p>It forces clarity.<br>It sharpens thinking.<br>And it ensures you hear only what really matters.</p>



<p>No filler. No fluff.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">What you’ll experience</h4>



<p>As an attendee, Six in Sixty gives you something different from a traditional session. You’ll:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Hear six distinct perspectives in one sitting</li>



<li>Explore key topics shaping health and wellbeing</li>



<li>Take away practical ideas without information overload</li>



<li>Stay engaged from start to finish</li>
</ul>



<p>The pace keeps energy high. The variety keeps it interesting. And the format means there’s always something that resonates.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Not just presentations. Perspectives.</h4>



<p>What makes Six in Sixty powerful isn’t just the format. It’s the mix of voices.</p>



<p>Different speakers.<br>Different viewpoints.<br>Different ways of tackling the same challenges.</p>



<p>And that’s where the real value comes from. Because sometimes it’s not one big idea that changes your thinking. It’s hearing multiple angles that help you see things differently.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Deliberately different. For a reason.</h4>



<p>This isn’t about cramming more into the agenda. It’s about delivering better content in less time. Six in Sixty is designed to:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Keep your attention</li>



<li>Respect your time</li>



<li>And leave you with ideas you’ll actually remember</li>
</ul>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Ready for something shar<strong>per?</strong></h4>



<p>If you’re looking for sessions that are focused, engaging, and genuinely useful, Six in Sixty is one you won’t want to miss.</p>



<p>Six speakers.<br>Sixty minutes.<br>Endless ideas.</p>

<p><em>New product, upgraded Proactive plan and enhanced benefits for corporate clients</em></p>



<p>Medicash has launched a new low-cost digital wellbeing plan alongside major enhancements to its core proposition. These updates position intermediaries to respond to rising employer demand for preventative health solutions, in line with Day-One Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) as introduced under the Employment Rights Act 2025 last month.</p>



<p>The changes, effective 5 May 2026, include the launch of <em>Remedi</em> – a digital-first health plan priced at £1.95 per employee per month – alongside upgrades to Medicash’s flagship Proactive health cash plan and additional benefits across all corporate policyholders.</p>



<p>Andrew Healy MBE, Chief Executive of Medicash, said: “The introduction of Day-One Statutory Sick Pay is a significant shift for employers, increasing the importance of preventing absence rather than simply managing it.</p>



<p>“For advisers, this creates an opportunity to reframe the conversation – it’s no longer just about what a product pays out, but how it keeps people in work.”</p>



<p>The launch comes as absence and ill health costs continue to rise. UK employees take an average of 9.4 sick days per year, according to the CIPD, increasing pressure on employers to adopt earlier intervention strategies.</p>



<p>Remedi is designed for organisations with 500+ employees and provides access to 12 digital health and wellbeing services via the My Medicash app, with an optional Virtual GP add-on for 50p per employee per month.</p>



<p>New services include digital vision checks from Ocushield, menopause support via Adora Digital Health, and a series of neurodevelopment pathways through Keys Group, including ADHD and autism assessments and speech and language support.</p>



<p>These services will also be rolled out across Medicash’s Proactive health cash plan for new and existing customers, and will be made available to all corporate policyholders at no additional cost.</p>



<p>Medicash has also enhanced its HealthLens service – now offering unlimited scans and wearable integration – and expanded content within its mProve YOURSELF wellbeing app, including nutrition, men’s health and guided exercise support.</p>



<p>Andrew Healy added: “By expanding into areas such as menopause, neurodiversity and digital health screening, we’re aligning our proposition more closely with the drivers of workforce productivity, engagement and inclusion.</p>



<p>“For intermediaries, this means a more relevant, preventative and commercially valuable solution as employers adapt to legislative change.”</p>

<p>If you’ve ever walked into a networking session and wondered “where do I even start?”—you’re not alone.</p>



<p>At this year’s amii Summer Summit, we’re doing things differently. Deliberately different.</p>



<p>Introducing Connect 4. A structured, high-energy networking experience designed to make every conversation count.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>So, what is Connect 4?</strong></h4>



<p>Connect 4 flips traditional networking on its head.</p>



<p>Instead of wandering around a room making small talk, you’ll take part in a series of focused, topic-led conversations with expert providers.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>You’ll join a table based on a topic that matters to you</li>



<li>Spend 10 minutes in a small group discussion</li>



<li>Then rotate to your next chosen topic</li>



<li>Repeat this across four fast-paced sessions</li>
</ul>



<p>Each conversation is designed to be tight, relevant, and genuinely useful—not a sales pitch. And because each table sticks to one topic throughout, you’ll get depth, not surface-level chatter.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Why it works</strong></h4>



<p>Connect 4 has been built around what members told us they actually want from events:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>More meaningful conversations</li>



<li>Less wasted time</li>



<li>Access to real expertise</li>



<li>The ability to choose what they learn</li>
</ul>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What you’ll experience</strong></h4>



<p>Over the course of the session, you’ll:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Take part in four focused discussions</li>



<li>Meet providers in small groups of just 3–4 people</li>



<li>Explore topics like mental health, preventative care, claims trends and more</li>



<li>Walk away with practical insights you can actually use</li>
</ul>



<p>It’s structured, but never rigid. Guided, but always conversational.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Deliberately different. For a reason</strong></h4>



<p>This isn’t networking for the sake of it.</p>



<p>It’s about creating space for better conversations.</p>



<p>Shorter sessions mean sharper thinking. Smaller groups mean stronger connections. And a clear structure means no awkwardness. Just value.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Ready to connect differently?</strong></h4>



<p>Connect 4 is just one of the ways this year’s Summit is being reimagined to deliver more value, more energy, and more meaningful outcomes.</p>



<p>If you’re tired of the same old event format, this is your chance to experience something better.</p>

<p>What does it really mean to push beyond what you think is possible? At the amii Summer Health &amp; Wellbeing Summit 2026, we’re proud to welcome our second keynote speaker, Sean Conway. Sean is an endurance adventurer who has built a reputation by doing things most people wouldn’t even attempt.</p>



<p>And that’s exactly why he fits perfectly with this year’s theme: Deliberately Different.</p>



<p><strong>A Story That Redefines Resilience</strong></p>



<p>Sean is not your typical motivational speaker.</p>



<p>He’s an extreme endurance adventurer who has:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Cycled around the world</li>



<li>Swam the length of Britain</li>



<li>Completed ultra-endurance challenges back-to-back</li>



<li>Set world records by refusing to accept perceived limits</li>
</ul>



<p>But what makes Sean different is not just what he’s achieved. It’s how he thinks.</p>



<p>His story isn’t about being superhuman. It’s about mindset, consistency, and choosing to keep going when stopping would be easier.</p>



<p><strong>Why This Matters for Health &amp; Wellbeing</strong><strong></strong></p>



<p>In the world of health and wellbeing, we often talk about resilience.</p>



<p>But Sean lives it.</p>



<p>His experiences bring a powerful perspective on:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Mental endurance and staying focused under pressure</li>



<li>Building resilience through small, consistent actions</li>



<li>Managing setbacks and continuing forward</li>



<li>Redefining what “possible” really looks like</li>
</ul>



<p>This isn’t theory. It’s lived experience.</p>



<p>Hear from Sean below and get a feel for what’s coming at the Summit.  Register <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/amii-2026-health-wellbeing-summit-tickets-1981253208681" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p>

<p>We said this year would be deliberately different.</p>



<p>Not just in how the Summer Health and Wellbeing Summit is structured but in who we bring to the stage.</p>



<p>So, we’re excited to announce our first keynote speaker is Sally Earnshaw. And she embodies everything this event is about.</p>



<p>Over the past year, you told us you wanted:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>More meaningful conversations</li>



<li>Less passive listening</li>



<li>More real-world value</li>
</ul>



<p>Sally’s approach delivers exactly that.</p>



<p>With over 20 years’ experience helping individuals and organisations unlock high performance, Sally is known for her straight-talking, energetic style and her ability to turn ideas into action.</p>



<p>Her keynote, Unstoppable, is built on a powerful belief: you don’t need a leadership title to make an impact. Because real change doesn’t come from sitting and listening.</p>



<p>It comes from stepping up, taking ownership, and doing something with what you’ve learned.</p>



<p>That’s why Sally is such a natural fit for this year’s Summit.</p>



<p>Her sessions are:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Practical, not theoretical</li>



<li>Interactive, not passive</li>



<li>Focused on action, not just inspiration</li>
</ul>



<p>She challenges people to think differently, communicate clearly, and take accountability. All while keeping things relatable, engaging, and grounded in real-world experience.</p>



<p>And importantly, her message aligns with what this event is all about:</p>



<p><strong>Not more content. Better conversations.<br>Not more noise. More impact.</strong></p>



<p>Watch Sally in action below and get a feel for what’s coming at the Summit.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-video"><video height="1080" style="aspect-ratio: 1920 / 1080;" width="1920" controls src="https://amii.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Sally-Earnshaw-keynote-1.mp4"></video></figure>



<p>This is just the first of our keynote announcements.</p>



<p>And if this is what “deliberately different” looks like, we’re only just getting started.</p>

<p>Attending events has often meant sitting, listening, and hoping to take something useful away. But that’s not what people want anymore. Over the past year, we’ve listened closely to our members and community. The feedback was consistent:</p>



<p>More meaningful conversations<br>More opportunities to connect<br>And less time spent passively listening.</p>



<p>So, for 2026, we’ve done things differently.</p>



<p>At the Summer Health and Wellbeing Summit, every part of the experience has been designed with intention. Not more content for the sake of it, but the right conversations at the right time. Not longer agendas, but better use of time.</p>



<p>That means:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Fewer, more focused sessions</li>



<li>More opportunities for real interaction</li>



<li>Space for both structured discussions and informal connections</li>
</ul>



<p>Because not all conversations are equal — and the best ones don’t always happen on stage.</p>



<p>We’re creating an environment where ideas can be shared, challenged, and developed in real time. Where attendees don’t just listen but actively take part.</p>



<p>This is not about doing more. It’s about doing what matters, better.</p>

<p><strong>We’ve been listening to our members and the wider profession, and one thing is clear: professional learning needs to be more relevant, more practical and better aligned to the realities of today’s market.</strong></p>



<p>So, we’re thrilled to tell you about the upcoming launch of the amii academy. It is being created to support meaningful professional development across the health and protection sector. It’s designed to help members build confidence, capability and consistency. Not simply to complete courses of the sake of it.</p>

<p><em>2 December 2025 </em><em>– </em><em>London, UK </em><em>– </em>Denis Global, a technology-driven provider of insurtech systems and third-party insurance services, today announced that it has achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, the globally recognised benchmark for information security management systems (ISMS).</p>



<p>This certification confirms that Denis Global has implemented and maintains a comprehensive framework for managing information security risks across its platforms and services – from cloud-based policy administration and claims automation to specialist dental and health-related insurance claims handling.</p>



<p>“Achieving ISO 27001 is about giving our clients and partners even greater confidence,” said Gareth Hayton, Chief Executive Officer at Denis Global pictured above. “Our platforms sit at the heart of dental, health and wider personal lines insurance propositions, where trust is everything. This certification demonstrates that we protect data with the same care and rigour that our clients bring to their customers’ wellbeing – and that we are committed to continually raising the bar on security, resilience and governance.”</p>



<p><strong>Raising the bar on information security in health and dental insurance</strong><strong></strong></p>



<p>Health and dental insurers, MGAs and benefits providers process large volumes of highly sensitive clinical, financial and personal data – making them an attractive target for cybercriminals. In recent years, healthcare-related cyber incidents and data breaches have risen globally, exposing millions of records and eroding public trust.</p>



<p>ISO 27001 provides the only internationally auditable standard for building, operating and continually improving an information security management system. It requires organisations to identify and assess information security risks, implement robust controls, and regularly monitor and improve their effectiveness.</p>



<p>The ISO 27001 certification adds to Denis Global’s existing DORA compliance and Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation, further validating the robustness of its security and operational resilience across the UK and Europe.</p>



<p><strong>About Denis Global<br><br></strong>Denis Global is a technology-driven, DORA-certified provider of insurtech systems and third-party insurance services, helping partners around the world to launch, manage, and scale personal lines insurance solutions. Denis Global supports insurers, MGAs, brokers, underwriters, employee benefits providers and similar organisations of all sizes with modular or full-stack solutions that take their service provision to the next level, increase productivity and improve their bottom line. The Denis Global group incorporates Denis UK Limited, Denis Europe OÜ (headquartered in Estonia) and Denis Technologies Limited (headquartered in the UK).</p>

<p>Not-for-profit, Liverpool-based health cash plan provider <a href="https://www.medicash.org"><strong>Medicash</strong> </a>has announced ambitious plans to reach <strong>one million corporate policyholders by 2030</strong> as part of a new long-term growth strategy that will create jobs, boost investment, and strengthen its position as the UK’s largest corporate health cash plan provider.</p>



<p>Alongside this, Medicash is planning to<strong> double the financial contribution of the Medicash Foundation</strong> – giving at least £750,000 a year to good causes, deepening the life-changing impact it makes in the community.</p>



<p>“These goals sit side by side,” said <strong>Andrew Healy MBE, CEO at Medicash</strong>. “They reflect not only our ambitions for growth but also our heritage and values to proudly support health and wellbeing in the communities we serve. On the one hand, we’ll continue to drive innovation, accessibility, and wellbeing in workplace health provision so we can grow from 675,000 policyholders today to over one million. And on the other, we’ll go back to our 150-year-old roots by channelling more of what we generate into worthy causes, helping those who need support in areas like homelessness, mental health, and preventative care.”</p>



<p>To support its ambitions, Medicash is reshaping its organisational structure to focus more than ever on digital innovation for policyholders, solutions that help corporate customers look after their staff, and empowering its broker networks to deliver exceptional service to their clients.</p>



<p><strong>Andy Roberts</strong> has been appointed to the new role of <strong>Chief Operating Officer</strong>. Previously Finance &amp; IT Director, Andy will provide strategic leadership across both Finance and Customer Operations, ensuring that Medicash continues to deliver excellence, efficiency and value to its policyholders.</p>



<p><strong>Paul Marley </strong>becomes<strong> Chief</strong> <strong>Technology Officer</strong> and will now report directly to Andrew Healy MBE, reflecting the increasingly critical role that technology will play in Medicash’s future.</p>



<p><strong>Paul Gambon </strong>takes on the expanded role of <strong>Chief Commercial Officer</strong> where he will be responsible for championing customer-focused growth initiatives and ensuring Medicash remains the healthcare plan of choice for employers across the UK.</p>



<p><strong>Alex McAleavey</strong> has joined as <strong>Chief Risk Officer</strong> from Aldermore Bank and will lead the areas of risk, governance and compliance to underpin Medicash’s trusted reputation for integrity and reliability.</p>



<p><strong>Dan Williams </strong>has been appointed <strong>Head of Change and Transformation </strong>andwill co-ordinate Medicash’s strategic change programmes, harnessing technology, artificial intelligence and digital solutions to enhance efficiency and customer experience. Dan joins on 17 November from Tunstall Global Healthcare where he is currentlyGlobal Group Change Director.</p>



<p>Finally, <strong>Daniel Dickson-Hope</strong> has been appointed <strong>Chief People Officer</strong>, a new role dedicated to optimising culture, performance, wellbeing and diversity. A highly experienced CPO, Daniel will join from Cavalry Group on 10 November.</p>



<p><strong>Andrew Healy MBE</strong> added: “This is an incredibly exciting moment in Medicash’s development. By setting clear growth ambitions and strengthening how we operate, we’re building a future that will benefit not only our customers and colleagues, but also the communities we care deeply about.</p>
