Peace of mind with contractual indemnity insurance for your practice staff

We arrange claims made insurance cover underwritten by Berkshire Hathaway European Insurance DAC (“BHEI”) trading as MedPro for GP practice staff including practice nurses, advanced nurse practitioners, nurse prescribers, phlebotomists, HCAs, practice managers and administrative staff.

Please note that cover does not extend to medical practitioners and all such employees must hold their own professional indemnity insurance.
