SME Centre of Excellence Partners with SAEPIO to Bring Affordable 24/7 GP Access to Your Workforce
Getting a GP appointment in the UK has quite literally become a battle.
We have all experienced waiting in the long phone queues, even weeks-long waiting, and employees missing work just to sit in a waiting room. It's costing businesses a lot of time, productivity, and money.
That's why we're proud to announce our new partnership with SAEPIO to bring 1Stop4aGP to the SME Centre of Excellence members and the wider business community.
What Is 1Stop4aGP?
It's very simple. Your employees get 24/7 access to fully qualified, GMC-registered, UK-based GPs by phone or video. There's no waiting rooms and no two-week waits. Just a call to a dedicated helpline, and a doctor calls them back at a convenient time.
There's no time limit on consultations, so your team can talk through whatever they need to properly. And if a prescription is needed, it can be delivered directly, often the very next day.
What Do Employers Get Out of It?
Less absence of course with fewer disruptions and a healthier team.
When your staff can speak to a GP the same day, they're not taking a morning off to chase an appointment or sitting at their desk worrying about a health concern they can't get seen for.
Here's what's included:
24/7 phone and video GP consultations for your employees
No restriction on the number of times the service can be used in a year
Prescriptions issued remotely and delivered to your employee or a nominated pharmacy
Consultation records shared (with consent) with the employee's own GP for seamless follow-up
Specialist referrals arranged directly if further treatment is needed, including for those with private medical cover
Complete confidentiality, employers never see what's discussed
It's a genuine employee benefit that costs a fraction of what private medical insurance would, and it solves the problem your team actually has right now.
How Much Does It Cost?
Pricing is straightforward and designed for small businesses (at time of this article September 2026):
Plan
| Price
|
Up to 10 employees
| £150 per year
|
Up to 25 employees
| £300 per year
|
Up to 50 employees
| £500 per year
|
50+ employees

That's as little as £15 per employee, per year for round-the-clock GP access. Individual plans are also available at £50 per year, covering the policyholder and their immediate family.
Why Now?
NHS waiting times aren't really improving, and your people's health directly affects your bottom line. This is a practical, affordable way to support your workforce and keep your business running smoothly.
