Indemnity Insurance

Your ACTION is required for INDEMNITY cover

 

NHS England has procured a block indemnity contract for the programmes listed below with Medical Protection Society. This block cover is different to personal cover – you are advised to check that you have personal cover for yourself.

 

We hope you will take up this opportunity; however, if you DO NOT wish to take up the offer of being a part of the block indemnity cover, please inform us by emailing england.indemnity.midlands@nhs.net by the 1st December 2023. You would then need to make sure you have your own cover in place. This is your responsibility to arrange.

 

Please note that if you have what is called ‘Affiliate Membership’ with another provider, we would like to advise you that this is not full membership, and you would need to consider taking out full membership with that provider or join NHS England’s block cover through MPS.

 

If we do not hear from you by the 1st December 2023, we will assume you are consenting to us sharing your details with MPS and that you do wish to be a part of the block indemnity opportunity.  We will then send your details to MPS so that they can contact you about registration.  The protection of your personal details is extremely important to us, so we only transfer the relevant information to them. 

 

Once MPS have received the information from us, they will begin their process which will include contacting you by email and by post to start your application.  Please look out for correspondence from them, you should regularly check your junk folder, so you don’t miss their email.  You will not be registered automatically, so please do read their information carefully as there will be action needed. NHS England – Midlands do not automatically register you for this cover.
