Category 2 work is non-contractual work, done as part of your employment, and is therefore not covered under NHS Crown Indemnity. This includes fee paying work undertaken to provide additional services. Examples of Cat 2 income for Hospital Doctors include police statements, coroner reports, cremation forms, reports requested by courts and Section 12 (Mental Health Act) and DoLS assessments for Psychiatrists. The MDS Comprehensive plan provides you with an insurance backed cover for all category 2 work for gross income up to £1000 per annum. If your annual income from this work exceeds this amount, contact us to upgrade your cover. Indemnity Insurance: If you work for an NHS Trust or Board, indemnity is provided through the Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts (CNST) in England. This applies even if you are a Locum for an NHS Trust. You will still need to maintain membership with an MDO or insurer to cover services such as patient complaints, regulatory (GMC) and disciplinary proceedings, employment and contractual disputes. You must make sure that you have adequate and appropriate insurance or indemnity arrangements in place, covering the full scope of your medical practice in the UK. For more information, refer to the latest GMC guidelines here. For insurance and indemnity when you are carrying out private or independent practice in the UK outside of the NHS, contact us to obtain a tailor-made quotation from our preferred Partners.
