Providing clinical services? If something goes wrong, your limited company could face legal action as a separate entity, as well as or instead of individual clinicians.
We offer a variety of corporate indemnity solutions to ensure comprehensive protection for your organisation – including expert medico-legal guidance and support, representation and a personal account manager.
We can work with you to select the best product or create a bespoke package to ensure any gaps in your indemnity are covered.
Contact our corporate team to find out more and download our product guide.
Our corporate membership solutions offer medico-legal guidance if your company is held liable for a range of failings, including:
• failure to properly investigate complaints or patient safety concerns

We were recommended to speak to the MDU and have received absolutely first-class service in all of our dealings with them. Our dedicated personal account manager is responsive, approachable, professional, utterly delightful to deal with and has taken great care to understand our business; she has then worked with us and her colleagues to deliver a flexible indemnity option to suit our needs. The whole process was streamlined and efficient, with all members of the team being equally responsive and helpful. All interactions have set the foundations for a great business relationship and have inspired confidence in the service and support provided by the MDU. I have no hesitation in recommending them to our GPs and other contacts.”

No, corporate membership sits alongside individual indemnity and supports you if there is a complaint or claim against the company. All clinicians must still hold appropriate individual indemnity for their work for your company.
Corporate membership can also provide vicarious indemnity for nurses and admin staff, or those who you employ but do not have their own individual arrangements.
If you’re an MDU corporate member, we can design bespoke indemnity schemes for your individual staff, which can also provide cost benefits.
If your contracts are included under NHS indemnity (CNSGP or CNST), you still need to be able to access medico-legal advice and support if a complaint or claim arises. This is not available via NHS schemes. For this, we provide a Corporate Advisory Solution, which excludes indemnity.
