What kind of medical professionals need Professional Indemnity Insurance

Firstly, it’s important to note that legislation came into force back in 2015 which grants the General Medical Council both the right and ability to check that all medical professionals and organisations have the correct cover in place. If you’re a medical professional exclusively working within the National Health Service (NHS) or Health and Social Care (HSC) Trust, Health board or local government, you should be covered through a Clinic Negligence Scheme.

Professional Indemnity Insurance can be arranged for a range of medical professionals including, but not limited to:

• Dentists
• Doctors
• Midwives
• Nurses
• Opticians
• Osteopaths
• Physiotherapists
• Paramedics
• Pharmacists
• Surgeons

Increasingly, medical professionals are being drawn into private sector healthcare. You may need to have Medical Professionals’ Professional Indemnity Insurance cover in place as a condition of your contract with a private healthcare organisation.

What does a policy typically cover?

Professional Indemnity Insurance provides protection against claims related to your professional activities, as opposed to your physical space. It will cover you in the event that a patient alleges negligence, malpractice, or a breach in clinical or professional care standards.

PI Insurance is particularly important because it provides protection against the kinds of claims that can cause extreme stress on a personal level and the most serious kind of crisis on a professional level.

Medical Professional Indemnity Insurance will pay out (up to the agreed indemnity limit of the policy) in the event of an allegation made against you in your professional capacity. The policy can pay out for legal costs that you may incur in defending the claim as well as any award that might subsequently be allocated to an injured party.
