About MDDUS

We are a mutual, not-for-profit defence organisation founded by and for healthcare professionals. We are proud of our heritage and have been supporting our members since 1902.

Who?

We offer access to professionally trained advisers 24 hours a day – 365 days a year – and legal support and indemnity against claims of negligence.

What?

We exist to support and protect healthcare professionals throughout their career.

Why?

MDDUS was established in 1902 by a group of doctors and dentists concerned by an increasing number of clinical negligence cases being pursued in the courts. We now support over 65,000 members practising in the UK.

You can now switch indemnity providers — it’s time to review.

Between 2017 and 2019, some practices were locked into legacy protection that restricted switching. That lock-in period has now passed — opening the door to new medico-legal options, without added cost or cover concerns.

If your PCN includes affected practices or GPs, now is the time to reassess your provider.
