Medical Liability Insurance

One of the many membership benefits of AfPP is the option to take out medical malpractice insurance.

Our policy is provided by Bluefin and the policy is underwritten by Lloyd’s of London.

Key Benefits:

• £1m £63.60 or £5.30 per month
• £3m £85.80 or £7.15 per month
• £3m cover which includes private work for consultants for £171.60 or £14.30 per month
• Option to add your Medical Insurance Liability to your membership subscription and pay monthly by direct debit - with membership and medical insurance cover starting from £12.30* per month.  

  * cost is based on monthly fee for non-registered membership & £1m insurance cover.

Professional liability insurance cover up to £3m is recommended by the NMC and the General Medical Council. It is also suggested to candidates working for agencies and is especially important where employers do not accept vicarious liability.

Policies run yearly from 1st April to 31st March. You can start a policy at any point in the year irrespective of your membership renewal date and the policy premiums will be calculated pro-rata to the end of March the following year.
