Welcome to Case in Point,

At Medical Protection, we understand the importance of tailored protection for consultants in private practice. It goes beyond supporting you in times of trouble, and aims to safeguard your career, finances, and reputation from the very beginning.

Our team of experts are dedicated to assisting you throughout your career, by providing guidance on legal and ethical challenges you may encounter, offering support for claims, complaints, and much more. Membership benefits extend beyond your professional life. We provide a comprehensive wellbeing service, including confidential counselling, to help you navigate stressful periods. Moreover, unlike with other providers, you, your family, and your estate have the right to request indemnity for future claims stemming from any year you were a Medical Protection member.

In this edition of Case in Point, we present a collection of articles that address pertinent topics related to your work in private practice. Real-life case studies based on the experiences of our members further illustrate our commitment to helping, supporting, and protecting individuals throughout various stages of their career.

We hope you find this publication enjoyable and see first-hand how we can assist, support, and protect our members in diverse circumstances throughout their professional journeys.

Yours sincerely


Dr Rob Hendry

Medical Director, Medical Protection
