All KSS GP Registrars have access to free indemnity cover via Medical Protection Society (MPS). The KSS GP Deanery Team provides details of new GPSTs to MPS who then email GPSTs with instructions on how to complete registration. We encourage all GPSRs to take up the offer of this cover as it provides a necessary addition to the standard NHS indemnity scheme which will only cover the financial aspects of a negligence claim.
This means Kent, Surrey and Sussex GP registrars will benefit from the provision of full medical defence, for their whole three-year training programme at no additional cost.
Registrars will, of course, have the option of arranging cover for themselves if they would prefer, however, we would encourage any registrars who would like us to arrange their cover from their start date, not to renew their cover beyond the end of the month before the month you commence training.
Further information, including Frequently Asked Questions, is provided on the MPS website.
