Income Protection Discounts

Reports suggest that being a horse vet carries one of the highest risk of injury of any civilian occupation in the UK, which is why we've partnered with PG Mutual to offer all UK members a discount on a new Income Protection Insurance policy.

What is an Income Protection Plan?

Income protection provides people with a regular income should they be off work due to injury or illness, an income that helps pay the bills and removes many financial worries during recovery.

Why should I have income protection?

Our occupational risks of working with horses research paper that was published in Equine Veterinary Education found that an equine vet could expect to sustain between seven and eight work-related injuries that impeded them from practising, during a 30-year working life. Data available from the Health and Safety Executive suggest that vets working in equine practice in the UK sustain a very high number of injuries compared to other civilian occupations, including those working in the construction industry, prison service and the fire brigade.

By taking out an income protection plan you are ensuring your income is protected if you are suddenly unable to work for a period of time.
