With Medical Protection by your side, you can practise with confidence knowing we go further to protect SAS doctors - for the exclusive price of just £429*.
All doctors working in the NHS receive state indemnity. While this covers claims for clinical negligence in the course of contracted duties, it’s not designed to protect your career, reputation or financial security.
Medical Protection membership gives you the complete protection you need, including the right to request:
We’re here when you need us via our 24/7 medicolegal helpline. From reducing risk to improving patient communication, our professional development courses will help you navigate ever-present ethical and legal challenges. And our support for your wellbeing includes access to free confidential counselling.
We’re also here to advocate for SAS and locally employed doctors. Medical Protection is proud to endorse policy proposals by the SAS Collective – a group of specialist, associate specialist and specialty (SAS) doctors working to improve the careers and retention of SAS doctors across the UK. The SAS Collective has outlined the ‘SAS Six’ policy proposals which would improve and protect the careers of SAS doctors. Learn more.
As the world’s leading medical defence organisation, we’ve been protecting the interests of medical professionals for over 130 years. We know your work is vital, and will do all we can to support you as you progress in your career.
*£429 is the annual Medical Protection membership price for a UK Medical SAS doctor working exclusively in the NHS. Subject to protection requirements and underwriting approval.
