You’ve worked hard to get to where you are and, in an age of easy-access litigation (or threat of litigation), you want to take steps to avoid the immense costs involved in defending a legal action. Without professional malpractice insurance, you run the risk of being exposed to many liabilities, such as:
- Misdiagnosis
- Neglect
- Bodily Injury
- Mental Injury
- Duty of Care
- Error or Omission
- Good Samaritan Acts
With Professional Indemnity costs soaring, getting value for money is crucial. We offer a range of personal and commercial indemnity and liability insurance products to cover the costs of various actions:
Professional Indemnity & Malpractice
We offer professional liability cover for GPs, Dentists, Opticians, Vets and Pharmacists (all partners, salaried partners, locums and employees), nurses, technicians, therapists, paramedics, emergency care practitioners and first aiders.
The policy covers the cost of compensating clients and service users for loss or damage resulting from negligent services or advice provided. Medical professionals are not restricted to using the Medical Defence Organisations for their Professional Indemnity and Medical Malpractice cover.

Quote and buy nowManagement Liability
The Management Liability Policy is designed to help protect healthcare practices from the risks they commonly face, such as NHS claw backs, CQC inspections and problems arising, employment disputes, partnership disputes, official investigations (such as, NHSE and HSE) and shareholder disputes within provider companies.
This policy will help you ensure you have the management liability cover in place to protect you and your practice against such risks. It is not to be confused with Legal Expenses Insurance, often sold as an add-on to commercial insurance.
Employment Practices Liability
You are at least three times more likely to face an employee tribunal than have a fire claim and, generally, an employer will not recover the costs of defending any tribunal claim. The Employment Practices Liability policy ensures your business and you are covered against claims made by existing and former employees.
This policy entitles you to expert legal help in the event of an investigation or claim made against you, and covers legal costs, awards and settlements, and legal costs of representation at official employment investigations.
Directors and Officers (D&O) Insurance
Being a Director or Officer (key manager) of a business brings a number of statutory duties and responsibilities. Breaches of health & safety or tax regulations, or regulatory intervention from your professional body, could instigate criminal and regulatory investigations, potentially leading to prosecution, prison sentences and being unable to practice.
D&O Insurance covers you for the personal liability risks faced under many areas of statutory and common law. You get legal and other expert help as required to give you the best possible defence in the event of an investigation or claim made against you and it covers the cost of defending claims made for alleged wrongful acts.
The policy will also pay any settlements and awards that are required (not including fines or penalties).
