The MDU welcomes Avant Mutual members

Planning to move from Australia to work in the UK? 

If you plan to work in the UK, the General Medical Council (GMC) requires that you have adequate indemnity for medical negligence.

The MDU is the leading provider of indemnity for doctors working in the UK. 

Working in the National Health Service 

If you plan to work for the National Health Service (NHS) either in an NHS hospital or as a general practitioner (GP), most of your work will be indemnified by the NHS indemnity scheme.

However, NHS indemnity can only go so far, and will not assist you with GMC investigations, disciplinary hearings, coroner’s inquests or fatal accident inquiries, patient complaints and other medico-legal issues. That's where MDU membership steps in – giving you the very best guidance, support and defence, as well as professional indemnity for any private work that you do.

Our medico-legal advisers are on hand 24-7 to offer medico-legal or ethical advice. As doctors themselves, they understand the pressures you face.
