Contractual Medical Indemnity
for Private General Surgeons
Tailored, insurance-backed protection engineered specifically for high-volume laparoscopic cholecystectomy, hernia repairs, colectomies and private general surgical practice
Secure guaranteed £10m contractual policy limits underwritten by certain underwriters at Lloyd’s and direct 24/7 access to specialist healthcare solicitors at Clyde & Co.
WE KNOW YOUR PRACTICE
Private general surgery carries distinct visceral, intra-operative leakage, and post-operative complication risks that require transparent contractual protection rather than discretionary union decisions.
Bile Duct Leak & Biliary Tract Protection
Dedicated legal and underwriting frameworks built to defend complex claims arising from biliary tree complications, bile duct injuries and laparoscopic revisions.
Anastomotic Leak & Complex Visceral Complications
Specialised defence structures tailored to high-exposure GI surgeries, colectomies and post-operative bowel or anastomotic breakdown claims.
Wound Infection & Post-Operative Care Claims
Comprehensive contractual cover shielding your practice against surgical site infections, delayed healing disputes and scar revision demands.
Multi-Site Hospital Privileges & High Volume
Seamless indemnity coverage spanning all your private operating environments across independent hospital groups (Spire, Nuffield, Circle, HCA) or private units within NHS trusts.
