Medical Indemnity

Medical Indemnity Insurance protects health professionals and establishments financially in situations where services provided cause illness, injury, financial loss, or any other form of harm through negligence or omission of healthcare services.

It includes protection from things such as defamation, loss or damage to important documents, breaches of duty, among many others.

Whilst working in an NHS Trust, you will normally be covered by the Clinical Indemnity Scheme set up by that Trust with NHS Resolution.  However, professional indemnity cover will not be automatically included - you will need to arrange this for yourself.  Any concerns please check with your Host Trust.

• General Practice
• Public Health
• Palliative Medicine
• Occupational Medicine
