Established in 1902, MDDUS is an independent not-for-profit mutual defence organisation offering expert advice, assistance and indemnity cover to doctors, dentists, and other healthcare professionals across the UK.

Founded by and for healthcare professionals, our mission is to protect and support healthcare professionals and organisations through our advisory, legal, practice management and risk education services.

With an expert in-house staff of doctors, dentists, lawyers, and risk advisers who are leaders in the medico-legal and dento-legal fields, we offer access to our professionally trained advisers 24/7 and legal support and indemnity against claims of negligence.

Our specialist 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.
