Flexible Benefit Cancer Screening
Affordable access to life-saving cancer checks for your employees
Cancer is one of the biggest challenges facing the UK workforce:
- 123,000 working-age people are diagnosed every year – 340 every day
- 1 in 4 don’t return to work after treatment
- By 2040, one person every minute will be diagnosed
Early detection saves lives and helps businesses avoid the significant costs of late diagnosis. That’s why more and more employers are adding cancer screening to their flexible benefit schemes.
Check4Cancer’s Flexible Benefit offering makes cancer screening accessible to all age-eligible employees. With fast, clinically validated tests and expert support, you can give your workforce peace of mind and your business the benefits of a healthier team.

Why offer cancer screening as a benefit?
Cancer is one of the leading health risks for UK employees. Early detection saves lives, reduces treatment burden, and shortens time away from work.
Investing in prevention drives measurable results:
- Protect your people - early detection means better outcomes, faster recovery, and less time off work.
- Promote a culture of care - employees who feel supported are more loyal and engaged.
- Boost retention & recruitment - stand out with benefits employees genuinely value.
- Reduced absenteeism - less disruption, and quicker recovery after treatment.
- Higher engagement - staff feel supported and cared for.
- Control costs - targeted screening reduces PMI claims, critical illness payouts, and death-in-service costs.
The Flexible Benefit model is now well established in the UK, with approximately one-third of employers offering such schemes, demonstrating their continued relevance and growing adoption.

“I can’t help but think ‘What if I hadn’t bothered?’ Thank God I didn’t wait until I was 50 to have my first mammogram. It would have been a very different story then. I want to tell everyone not to hesitate — go for it if you have the opportunity. It might save your life.”
