Insurance for Medical Practitioners

Medical practitioners are more likely than ever to be subject to a complaint or legal action.  For instance, in the UK alone, over £800 million was paid in compensation and legal costs in 2009.  Statistics in other jurisdictions are equally worrying.

Howden offers comprehensive medical professional indemnity through a consortium of ‘A’ rated insurers.

Our policy provides support at a cost-effective price and covers the following:

• costs associated with regulatory body or other disciplinary hearings, advice and protection from qualified and experienced professionals
• up to £100,000 legal expenses cover to provide protection in the event of being accused of a criminal offence
• reputation protection costs
• libel and slander protection costs
• indefinite contractual cover for Doctors and Dentists when they have retired permanently or if they die in service

We specialise in insurance for Doctors in General Practice, Dentists and Osteopaths - but are able to use our relationship in the market to create a solution for most medical professionals.  To speak to us about how we can help you, please contact our experts using the details on the right.
