Health and Travel Cover for staff in Dubai

Health Insurance

It is important that we arrange Health Insurance cover for new starters at the earliest opportunity. This document – and in particular the checklist – is designed to provide guidance about what information is needed. There is also some advice about Travel Cover and information which can be shared with new starters wishing to arrange Health Insurance for family members.

For those travelling from the UK, much of the information on the checklist can be provided prior to departure although points 7 C and D, 12 and 13 (possibly) and 14 – 16 will need to be provided following arrival in Dubai. Please do not delay notification until this information is available – it can be provided as a follow up to the initial notification.

For new starters in Dubai - please complete and return this checklist.

Flying Faculty staff: To satisfy Dubai local regulatory requirements, the University will in addition commission healthcare cover for you that is restricted to use in Dubai only whilst you are on a Flying Faculty Assignment.  Please refer to your contract of employment and/or contact HR if you have any queries.

For anybody leaving Dubai - please provide their name and leaving date, and ask the individual to return their insurance card to the Insurance Team in Birmingham.

For any insurance queries please contact Insurance Services.

Travel Cover

UoB Travel Cover is available for anybody travelling on business for a period of up to two years. Anybody travelling from the UK should therefore apply for such cover, assuming they intend to return within two years, and similarly cover is available to anybody permanently based and residing in Dubai who travels on UoB business to the UK or elsewhere.
