Frequently asked questions
This type of insurance protects you if something goes wrong while you're providing medical care or if a patient is harmed. It can cover your legal defence costs, as well as any damages awarded as a result of a claim being made against you.
Indemnity insurance gives you peace of mind, so you can focus on being the best doctor you can — without the worry of an incident potentially affecting your future career.
MDA National offers students:
Your policy is provided on an annual basis and renews each year. Make sure your contact details stay up to date so you remain covered.
No, you’re not legally required to have individual indemnity insurance until you graduate. However, your university may not cover you in all situations.
Incidents can happen during placements, electives, or emergencies. MDA National can provide guidance and support if this occurs.
