Indemnity Insurance
NHS England Midlands has procured a block indemnity contract for the programmes listed below with Medical Protection Society (MPS). If you are on an eligible training programme you will be contacted in advance of your start date via the email provided on Oriel. Please contact the administrative team that manages your training programme to update this if you will not maintain access to this throughout training.
Once we contact you regarding eligibility to the scheme, you will have a period to contact us opting out of the data sharing process with MPS. If you do not opt out of this, your information will be shared with MPS who will then contact you with your onboarding steps. Please be on the lookout for this communication from MPS as you are not automatically registered and will have to complete actions to be covered. NHS England does not register you or keep records of individuals cover.
