New appointment, added benefit

Dr David Evans has been appointed ‘Clinical Medical Consultant’ by the PHP group of companies.

A new role for the group, Dr Evans will work with the three businesses, health & wellbeing intermediary PHP, treatment sourcing specialist subsidiary Medical Care Direct (MCD) and nurse service provider RedArc.

He will be a valuable source for impartial guidance to PHP’s Medical Services department in providing a high quality service to clients and giving opinions on whatever an insurer’s stance would be on a particular claim and whether it is fair and reasonable. And will also provide similar guidance to MCD where members and patients within trust funds and other uninsured schemes have a range of options to consider.

Working with nurse service provider RedArc, Dr Evans will assist with suitable protocols and clinical standards for its Nurse Case Managers and provide guidance when they are uncertain as to the services which will best benefit the patient.

Commenting on the appointment, Jan Lawson, PHP’s Group Managing Director said, “Dr Evans will give us that something extra from a medical perspective and we are delighted to have him working with us. In essence, he is a professionally qualified and extremely credible sounding board, who will benefit both our businesses and clients.”

Dr Evans qualified as a Doctor nearly 18 years ago and is currently a practicing General Practitioner.

The PHP group of companies became part of Punter Southall Group last month.
