What is professional protection? And do I really need it?

Professional protection, also known as indemnity, can help you with any medicolegal issues that may arise from your time studying and throughout your whole career. This can be anything from patient complaints to claims and referrals to the Irish Medical Council.   

It’s a few years before you need to worry about claims and complaints from patients, but your university will have advised you to join a medical defence organisation.

And that’s where Medical Protection comes in.
