York & Philip: Our Story, Your Health
Inspired by heritage, driven by purpose, dedicated to your workplace wellbeing.
Inspired by Heritage, Driven by Purpose
The name 'York & Philip' represents centuries of British heritage applied to modern Dutch workplace challenges. York—from Eboracum, the Roman fortress that became England's northern capital—embodies the steadfast reliability that has made British institutions the envy of Europe. Philip, meaning 'lover of horses', reflects the pastoral wisdom and gentle authority of a country squire who knows his land and people intimately. Together, they represent our approach: the institutional excellence of British medicine combined with the personal touch that transforms occupational health service compliance from burden to blessing.
Founded by distinguished occupational health professionals who cut their teeth in London's finest medical institutions, York & Philip emerged from a quintessentially British conviction: that proper healthcare should be both thoroughly professional and genuinely humane. We bring to the Netherlands the same standards that made Harley Street legendary, tempered by Dutch pragmatism and an understanding that good occupational health service support requires both clinical excellence and common sense.
