Our services
MPS aims to help doctors with legal problems that
arise from their clinical practice. The services we
provide have a number of aims:
Helping doctors with specific problems they face.
Promoting safer practice, reducing the number of
problems in the future.
Lobbying to bring about a sensible regulatory
environment.
These benefits are personal to you, but indemnity may,
depending on the circumstances, be extended to an
employee.
Legal representation
MPS provides first-class specialist legal advice and
representation in a range of circumstances, such as
clinical negligence claims (in respect of which an
indemnity is provided) and disciplinary hearings.
Media relations
If members are unfortunate enough to be involved
in a case that attracts adverse publicity, we can help.
By preparing statements and acting as a spokesperson
we can shield members from press intrusion as far as
is possible.

We do this through a range of membership benefits,
provided subject to the conditions set out in the
Memorandum and Articles of Association, including:
Medicolegal advice
We help to resolve medicolegal dilemmas as they
arise in everyday practice. Our team of medicolegal
advisers – doctors with legal training – is always
available to help members.
Indemnity
MPS offers indemnity against adverse awards for
costs and damages in clinical negligence cases.
Risk management
We produce publications, lectures and workshops
on a variety of subjects, from consent to medical
records. We can also offer a range of help and
advice on particular risk management issues.
Lobbying
We monitor legal reforms, professional and
national policy and are active on review bodies,
lobbying for change and making representations
to decision-making bodies.
