Today, Welsh Athletics in collaboration with the other Home Country Athletics Federations (England, Scotland and Northern Ireland) have partnered with Gameplan Health and Aviva to introduce a best-in-class private medical insurance plan, designed specifically for affiliated members.

Tasked by key stakeholders within athletics to create a tailored solution, Gameplan Health has worked closely with experts across the sport to ensure this plan meets the unique needs of Welsh Athletics members while delivering the full benefits of a top-tier private medical insurance policy—at a more cost-effective rate through this exclusive partnership.

A Private Medical Insurance Plan Built for Welsh Athletics Members.

This plan was developed following extensive consultation with athletes, coaches, and sports professionals who identified a critical gap in the market. While traditional PMI policies often fail to consider the specific needs of active individuals, this plan has been carefully designed to provide specialist support for athletes while also offering the broad, everyday healthcare benefits of a leading private medical insurance policy.

Thanks to our collaboration with Gameplan Health and Aviva, one of the UK’s most trusted health insurers, Welsh Athletics members – club athletes will have access to:

• Fast-track access to private healthcare. – Reduce Wait times & get expert care sooner
• Comprehensive cover for everyday health concerns – Including consultations, diagnostics, hospital treatment, and surgery.
• Specialist support for sports injuries and rehabilitation – Covering physiotherapy, scans, and recovery treatments.
• Flexible cover options – Suitable for individuals, young athletes, and families.
• Exclusive 18% discount for Welsh Athletics members – Making private healthcare more affordable.

Designed for Athletes, Engineered for Excellence.

Here at Gameplan Health, we were delighted to be entrusted by England Athletics and key stakeholders within the sport to develop a first-of-its-kind private healthcare solution for members.

 

We have worked meticulously to build a plan that not only gives athletes the support they need but also provides comprehensive private medical insurance that every member can rely on, whether they need sports treatment or everyday healthcare. And by partnering with Aviva, we’re able to offer this at a price point that makes private healthcare more accessible.

James Williams, CEO at Welsh Athletics added:
