MDDUS is pleased to partner with SOM to provide cost effective indemnity membership benefits for doctors working in occupational medicine.
MDDUS has developed membership grades that will mean members of both the SOM and MDDUS benefit from a 5% discount in their indemnity membership subscription on an already very competitive subscription level.
MDDUS Head of Relationships Gaelle Ainslie said: “We are delighted to be chosen as SOM’s preferred indemnity partner and look forward to building a long-term relationship that will benefit our mutual members. We believe membership will provide lifelong peace of mind and excellent value to MDDUS and SOM members.”
SOM CEO Nick Pahl said: “We are also delighted to be working with MDDUS to offer greater value to SOM members.”
Occupational medicine doctors will be able to take advantage of ‘claims’ or ‘non-claims’ membership, depending on their circumstances.
Mrs Ainslie added: “Claims membership provides access to indemnity for claims brought by individuals and/or the companies that employ them because of a doctor’s assessment of individuals. Non-claims membership is for occupational medicine doctors who do not require indemnity for claims because they are protected by an employer’s indemnity arrangements.
“Members can also seek 24/7 advice and support with medico-legal and ethical scenarios, regulatory matters, and complaints that might arise from professional practice.”
To provide access to claims membership, MDDUS generally requires members to be on the relevant GMC specialist register or on the GP register. Recognising that occupational health physicians may come from a range of clinical backgrounds, applications will be considered from doctors who are not on the GP or specialist register.
As a guide, doctors would be expected to hold at least the diploma in occupational health and be able to demonstrate two years’ experience of working in occupational medicine.
Mrs Ainslie said: “Membership of MDDUS continues to provide a comprehensive range of benefits. We seek to evolve our products to keep pace with the changing market while remaining committed to providing a high-quality, responsive, and personal service and championing the best interests of our members.”
