The Boeing Company has expanded its wellbeing programme to include a medical consultation service for its US staff.

Employees working at the aerospace company are now entitled to a second medical opinion if they are uncertain about a previous diagnosis or the treatments available to them.

The service provided by Best Doctors also covers employees' dependents.

Evan Falchuk, president of Best Doctors, said: “If you are sick, you are entitled to be sure you are getting the right care. Best Doctors is here to help Boeing employees and their families be sure they have the right diagnosis and treatment, that they understand their condition and have the best chance to get well.”
