Hi everyone, we have Matt Rann back with us and we are talking about thyroid disorders and protection insurance. I had postpartum thyroiditis after having my third child, which was not a fun thing to experience, and I can say quite confidently that you can feel pretty shocking if your thyroid is misbehaving.

The key takeaways:

• 1 in 20 people have a thyroid condition and we’re talking through the more common ones 
• Key details about thyroid conditions that you need to know to complete your presales research
• Two case studies of arranging protection insurance for people living with thyroid conditions

I will be back next time with a short episode going through key parts of group life insurance and the do’s and don’ts of advising on this type of cover.

Remember, if you are listening to this as part of your work, you can claim a CPD certificate on our website, thanks to our sponsors Octo Members.
