Medicolegal advice

Our medicolegal advice service is open to members with urgent queries 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

If you are in any doubt over a legal issue we would encourage you to get in touch and ask our advice. There is no stigma attached, and we would rather you asked now and avoid a problem, rather than hope for the best and find yourself in difficulties later.

If sending a query by email please do not include any personal information about patients, in the interests of confidentiality.

For the rest of the world, please contact the Medical Protection Society at 33 Cavendish Square, London W1G 0PS, Tel: +44 20 7399 1300, Fax: +44 20 7399 1301.

You can also email non-urgent queries to querydoc@mps.org.uk but please do not include any personal information about patients in your email.
