Applying for membership

 

Already an Avant member & planning to work in the NHS?

MDU membership is available for Avant members working in the UK in an NHS hospital or NHS GP surgery, where indemnity for clinical negligence claims is provided by a state indemnity scheme (such as CNST or CNSGP).  You will continue to pay a subscription to Avant, but your membership will be provided by the MDU at no additional cost to you. Apply now.

 

Already an Avant member & not planning to work in the NHS?
