MPS around the world

Medicine is an increasingly mobile profession, with doctors travelling the world to work. Students often use the opportunity of their elective to experience medicine in a different country.

MPS is the world’s leading mutual medical defence organisation. We operate internationally and have members in more than 40 countries, so if you decide to work overseas, membership can be arranged easily. It is one less thing to worry about.

MPS has offices in London, Leeds, Edinburgh, Brisbane, Wellington and Auckland, which provide assistance for more than 270,000 members in the UK and beyond.

The main jurisdictions where MPS operates besides the UK are Ireland, South Africa, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, the Caribbean and Bermuda, and Kenya. However, we do have smaller numbers of members in other countries, so it is often possible to continue your membership, even in unlikely places, for example if you are doing voluntary work overseas.

There are some notable countries where we do not offer permanent membership – particularly the USA and Canada. However, even in these jurisdictions, MPS membership offers access to medicolegal assistance for students on their electives and for Good Samaritan acts.
