Editorial


Welcome to our digital edition of Case in Point.

Here at Medical Protection, we know just how important it is to have protection that’s tailored to the work you do as a consultant in private practice.

Our protection isn’t just about supporting members when things go wrong, it’s about looking after their career, finances, and reputation from the get-go.

Medical Protection’s team of experts are here to support members at every stage of their career, and can assist with any medicolegal and ethical problems faced, while also helping to provide assistance when it comes to claims, complaints, and much more.

Benefits of membership don’t just stop at protecting your career. We offer a full wellbeing service, including confidential counselling to help members through any stressful times. And unlike some other providers, you, your family, and your estate would have the right to request indemnity for future claims arising from any year during which you were a Medical Protection member.

This digital edition of Case in Point allows you to access a range of articles and real-life case studies on topics that are relevant to your work in private practice with just the click of a button.

I hope you enjoy reading them and seeing for yourself how we can support and protect members in a range of different circumstances and stages of their career.

Yours sincerely


Dr Rob Hendry

Medical Director, Medical Protection
