Cuts to long-term care funding could lead to a shortfall of almost 100,000 care home beds over the next ten years, according to a new study.

Resolution, the buy-out vehicle launched by entrepreneur Clive Cowdery, is highly unlikely to make any further acquisitions and will instead focus on developing new life products.

Ageas Protect has added a new national sales manager and strategic account manager to join its protection business from Bupa.

Paradigm has kicked off a revamp of its protection offering by adding Bupa Individual Protection's proposition to its Elite protection panel.

Resolution has completed its acquisition of Bupa Health Assurance (BHA), comprising its Group Risk and Individual Protection businesses.

Bupa has raised medical underwriting limits on its life and critical illness plans.

Bupa has agreed a partnership with China-based insurer Alltrust for its international private medical insurance (IPMI) policyholders.

Private medical insurers could be heading for a full scale conflict with medical practitioners as doctors' leaders are increasingly targeting providers' fee schedules.

The Association of Medical Insurance Intermediaries (AMII) wants the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) review of the private healthcare sector to produce greater clarity from medical insurers and practitioners.

Bupa has hit out at private hospitals for not publishing care quality measurements to match those from NHS trusts.
