What Our Members Are Saying...

"To be honest, I hadn’t given much thought to “indemnity” until I became a consultant and wished to undertake independent practice. I had been a member of an MDO throughout my surgical training after joining as a medical student. 

When I looked closely at my existing indemnity arrangements, I was shocked to discover that the cover was discretionary, and the MDO quote for my first six months of cover was nearly twice as much as I anticipated earning! 

I contacted PRASIS, who were incredibly easy to deal with and responsive to my queries. I obtained a sensible quote which allowed me to begin independent practice, and was reassured by the comprehensive cover that was tailored to my needs. It was no problem applying a retroactive start date to encompass the whole of my consultant practice, and I have been with PRASIS ever since. 

I particularly value the ease of communication and the comprehensive cover provided by PRASIS, and the quotes are always competitive. Whenever I have needed to discuss difficult situations, I have found the medico-legal helpline to be accessible, and a source of sage advice and reassurance. 

I would strongly suggest Plastic Surgeons consider whether their current provider does all of these things, and get a quote from PRASIS!"
