WEBINAR: The future of underwriting – in a post pandemic world

The Insurance Society of Edinburgh is happy to announce their next webinar will discuss the future of underwriting.

Join Royal London where they will take a back-to-basics look at the basics of underwriting before exploring how COVID-19 is changing the way protection providers are approaching underwriting, the impact the pandemic is having on claims and how they’re adapting their protection proposition to make their products more adaptable to the fast changing lives of advisers and their clients. The session will also look at some of the new initiatives being delivered to support advisers with their protection conversations during the pandemic.

Learning objectives

By the end of this session you should be able to:

• Explain how COVID-19 had changed the way many protection providers might approach their underwriting, claims and product propositions both now and in the future
• Describe some of the recent enhancements Royal London have made to their underwriting and claims processes
