Income Protection Insurance, Safeguarding Your Future
Protect
Your Income
In healthcare, you’re used to handling the unexpected. But if illness or injury put your income on pause, could you keep life moving without worry?
Income protection insurance ensures you still receive a regular income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury. It keeps your financial life on track, so you can focus on getting better, not stressing about missed paycheques.

Why Healthcare Professionals Need Income Protection Insurance
You can’t plan for illness, but you can plan for its impact
No matter how secure your role feels, sickness or injury can swiftly turn stability into financial strain. Income protection is the safety net that lets you focus on recovery, not scrambling to cover bills.
Self-Employed Healthcare Professionals Face Greater Risks
There’s no employer safety net. If you’re self-employed or locum, your income can vanish overnight if illness strikes. Income protection gives you a vital monthly payout to keep your lifestyle, home, and future plans intact.
What Is Income Protection Insurance?
Income protection insurance provides a regular, tax-free monthly income if you’re signed off work due to illness or injury. Unlike a lump-sum critical illness payout, it supports your financial needs over time, whether that’s for a few months or several years, depending on your policy.
With cover through Affinity Advice, you can:
NHS Income Protection Tailored to You
If you work for the NHS, you likely benefit from a generous sick pay scheme, but it doesn’t last forever. Income protection for NHS staff is something we support individuals with frequently. It helps bridge the gap between your salary and what your employer provides.
After the initial months of full and half pay, many healthcare workers are left vulnerable. Our NHS income protection solutions ensure that when sick pay reduces or stops, your lifestyle, home, and family plans don’t have to.
