MDDUS is a mutual defence organisation founded by and for healthcare professionals, with an expert staff of doctors, dentists, lawyers and risk advisers who are leaders in the medico-legal and dento-legal fields.
We offer access to professionally trained advisers 24 hours a day – 365 days a year – and legal support and indemnity against claims of negligence.
Our advisers understand the challenges faced by healthcare professionals and can help members avoid risk and respond efficiently and sensitively to any professional difficulties that arise. We continually adapt and change with the times, while maintaining a focus on providing our members throughout the UK with access to a quality, personalised service at reasonable costs.
