Medical Indemnity
One of the many benefits that you will enjoy as a GP specialty trainee in the East Midlands is that your professional indemnity has been arranged and paid for on your behalf for your full three year training period; this will ensure adequate and appropriate indemnity and access to medico-legal assistance is in place for your entire programme whether in hospital or general practice. This scheme is in tandem with our host employer arrangement so that your contractual and indemnity arrangements are as simple and consistent as possible over the three years.
We hope this overview of the Lead Employer provides the key contact numbers and reference links for you.
