The History of Westfield Health Group
Westfield Health was founded!
On this momentous day the Westfield Health we know today was founded.
Penny in the Pound Scheme
On 9th April 1920 as a member of The Sheffield Hospitals Council, he suggested a ‘Penny in the Pound’ scheme - the original healthcare plan.
Scheme Launch!
The scheme was one of the largest and most successful in the country, and over the 27 years it ran, raised nearly five million pounds for the four hospitals.
The NHS
After the introduction of the NHS, providing free healthcare to all, we were faced with an unsteady future and the need to adapt and evaluate. We closed the Penny in the Pound Scheme.
Invention of the Cash Plan
As the NHS struggled to meet demand, we introduced an extended scheme of general benefits, becoming the innovator of the Health Cash Plan.
Welcome to Westfield House!
Due to the rapid expansion of the contributory scheme, we moved into a purpose-built office called Westfield House on the 7th April 1973.
Health Cash Plan
We launched our consumer Health Cash Plan to the market, becoming the first provider to launch a corporate Health Cash Plan with MRI, CT and PET scanning benefits.
The New CEO!
David Capper was appointed CEO of Westfield Health in 2018, expanding our knowledge and view of Healthcare and Wellbeing.
