Professional practice is ever more demanding. The Medical Protection Society can provide protection against complaints and litigation, with access to knowledgeable, sympathetic advice from specialist colleagues who understand your needs.

MPS is a mutual association of professionals: an independent, forward-thinking, support organisation, which is run by doctors for doctors. We are not an insurance company and do not exist to make profits. Indeed the funds are owned by you, the member. We have a worldwide membership in excess of 200,000 and resources to match.

Membership of MPS offers access to a range of medico-legal services, including professional indemnity for adverse awards of costs and damages in medical negligence cases. We can help with advice, assistance and representation in

Negligence claims, including indemnity for damages and costs
Medical council proceedings
Health authority/board and hospital inquiries
Disciplinary proceedings for alleged professional misconduct or incompetence
Inquests
Complaints
Criminal matters arising from professional practice

We also offer advice on a wide range of ethical and general queries on legal aspects of professional practice. If necessary, we will engage specialist, experienced lawyers to deal with your case.

MPS is not an insurance company. All the benefits of membership of MPS are discretionary as set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association
