Travel broadens the mind and cherished lifelong memories are created by sharing trips with our loved ones. For many people with medical conditions, the desire and ability to explore the world and fulfil bucket-list experiences is a vital part of a full and rewarding life.
Despite the challenges posed by their health conditions, we are inspired by individuals who are determined to explore new places, cultures, embracing life and adventures.
Traveling with illness, disabilities, medical or life-limiting conditions can present unique challenges, including the need for specialised medical care, accessibility considerations, and the physical and emotional demands of travel. Fortunately, advancements in medical technology, availability of supportive travel services, and an increased awareness of diverse needs have made it more feasible for these travellers to pursue their dreams. Organizations are increasingly recognizing the importance of facilitating such experiences, offering tailored packages and support systems to ensure safe and memorable journeys.
One such consideration is in relation to travel insurance. At Greenwood Moreland, we have a dedicated team who assist individuals and groups to arrange trips and holidays with the comfort of a bespoke and comprehensive package of insurance covers to provide cover and reassurance. As a broker, we offer a range of products from a variety of insurance providers and are involved in the British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA) directory initiative to signpost specialist cover for people with medical conditions.
We have supported people with a range of medical conditions; from those with stable but historical conditions, to those with life-limiting conditions or living with a terminal diagnosis. We have facilitated world-cruises and adventure holidays and are proud to have been able to help families and friends pursue dream-trips, achieve life-long ambitions and create golden memories.
Case Study – Julie
Julie first spoke to us on BIBA’s recommendation in 2022 as she has an uncommon form of cancer. Her previous experience of the insurance industry was negative with every provider she had spoken to declining to offer cover. We were able to take time to understand Julie’s needs and following the completion of a thorough medical declaration, we were able to source appropriate cover for her.
Since then, we are delighted that Julie has become a regular client for her travel insurance requirements. She says that Greenwood Moreland are helpful, sympathetic and that she wouldn’t consider going elsewhere because of how efficient we make the process seem.
Case Study – Chris
Chris came to us very recently on recommendation from a friend who is an existing client of ours. He felt that he had been asked to pay too much for the insurance for his last trip – his premium having been increased due to his stable heart condition. After having a chat about his future travel plans, we completed the medical declaration with him and obtained a quotation and terms which delighted him and which he immediately instructed us to put in place.
The motivations behind travel are deeply personal and varied. For some, it is about fulfilling lifelong dreams and ambitions; for others, it is a way to create lasting memories with loved ones. The pursuit of these experiences can provide a sense of purpose, joy, celebration and fulfilment.
By understanding and supporting the aspirations of people with complex or specialised medical requirements, we can help these individuals and their companions, creating meaning and happiness, enriching their lives and those of their families and friends.
