Your MDDUS MEMBERSHIP
As part of the NHSE program, you are assigned an MDO (medical defence organisation) to ensure you have indemnity protection throughout your training free of charge. Upon completion of your training, you have a choice to remain with your assigned MDO or to select a new MDO to provide your paid-for indemnity protection.
