Today actuaries are making an impact in many aspects of healthcare. In the private sector, actuaries are working with other health professionals to model better solutions for private medical insurance, income protection, critical illness, and long-term care insurance. In the public sector, actuaries have long been involved in financial planning for the NHS. There is no doubt that this work will expand as the government seeks ways of restructuring the welfare state to meet the demands of a changing population.
