Professional Defence Package (PDP)/Legal Cover

Tailored legal and professional support for NHS GPs in England and Wales — with clarity, care, and confidence.

Who this membership is for

This membership is designed specifically for GPs working within the NHS in England and Wales, including:

• NHS GPs with state-backed clinical negligence indemnity

• GPs working remotely from abroad (on a temporary or permanent basis) while contracted to the NHS in England or Wales

You focus on delivering patient care — we focus on defending your professional reputation and guiding you through challenges that fall outside state indemnity.

What’s included in your cover

While state-backed indemnity protects you against clinical negligence, our Professional Defence Package (PDP) gives you comprehensive medico-legal support beyond that scope:

✅ GMC investigations – Representation, guidance, and full legal support

✅ 24/7 medico-legal assistance – Immediate expert advice whenever you need it

✅ Complaint handling – Help with writing responses and managing complaint processes

✅ Ethical or professional issues – Support navigating complex practice dilemmas

✅ HR and employment support – Advice on contracts, disputes, or workplace issues

✅ Disciplinary proceedings – Legal representation and strategic guidance throughout

We act swiftly, with empathy and expertise, to protect your professional standing — so you can continue caring for patients without hesitation.
