The Summer 2018 edition of advocate, our quarterly magazine is available to read online where we bring you up to date with recent advo news and take a closer look at recent stand out issues.

It has been a busy few months at advo with strong growth across the group. We relaunched our hr support service which now includes an online absence management platform ahead of the CIPD Software exhibition where we showcased our joined up payroll, employee benefits and hr proposition.

We take a closer look at the Best Doctors’ second opinion service which is available through many company medical and risk insurances, but its importance is often overlooked. Their European Director outlines how they help and advo’s commercial director talks about his own experiences.

Staying with employee benefits we have an exclusive interview with Teresa Wighton, Bupa Global’s UK sales director who outlines the challenges of an international insurer and how they can support HR when sending staff overseas.

Workplace stress affects performance but home life also suffers. We take a look at new findings from Investors-in-people.

We also take a closer look at the NHS in its 70th year and focus on how it compares to other healthcare systems around the world and in health related matters we look at Hepatitis, an often misunderstood condition, in all its various forms.
