    What you are actually buying

    Professional indemnity and medical malpractice cover for clinicians in private practice, arranged direct with a broker or insurer and renewed annually.

    How insurance pricing works

    Premiums are the published starting rate for a low-risk, part-time practitioner. Your own quote depends on modality, claims history, turnover, whether you supervise, and whether you work outside the UK. Monthly figures are financed annual premiums, so compare the annual total rather than the monthly line. The figure on this page, From £850/yr, follows the same rule.

    Who this suits, and who it does not

    Required in practice for anyone seeing clients privately, and required outright by most registering bodies and by every clinician listing on Take a Seat. Check that the policy names your specific modalities, cover that excludes what you actually do is worth nothing at claim stage.

    What happens after you click through

    Get a quote direct from the broker, then send the certificate and expiry date through with your clinician application. We verify insurance before a profile goes live.

    Prices and inclusions are checked at review and change without notice, always confirm on the provider's own page. Nothing here is a diagnosis or a treatment recommendation, if you want one, speak to a specialist or build a pathway.
