What insurance do I need?
Our insurance for health and wellness clinicians includes a highly specialist healthcare professional cover, as well as other important covers that will help you run your practice with confidence.
Healthcare professional insurance
This specialist cover provides a 3-tiered protection that includes medical malpractice, professional indemnity and public liability insurance – all in one policy.
Medical malpractice insurance
Working with health and wellness comes with lots of responsibility. Medical malpractice insurance protects you against allegations of medical negligence in the treatments or advice you provide, such as misdiagnosis and physical or mental damage.
Public liability insurance
Regular contact with clients means you’re exposed to a certain element of risk. Public liability insurance can protect you against compensation claims, covering your legal costs if you accidentally cause an injury to a member of the public or damage their property in the course of your work.
Professional indemnity insurance
Professional indemnity insurance protects you against claims for financial loss caused by errors or omissions in the services you provide.
Content and equipment insurance
You may also want to cover all the specialist physical equipment you use, such as treatment beds – as well as portable tools like laptops and smartphones.
FAQs
What should I select as my “business type”?
You can select from 3 options:
Limited company – An organisation that's set up in order to run your business and is registered with Companies House. The finances used to run the company are separated from your personal finances, and the company has its own tax and legal obligations it must fulfill outside of you as an individual.
Partnership – A partnership is when two or more individuals enter into business together with the intent to share the profits generated by their work.
Sole trader – Someone who chooses to conduct business as a self-employed individual and does not have any partners or shareholders.
Most WriteUpp clinicians will be sole traders. Occasionally, WriteUpp clinicians will have set up their own limited company.
What should I select as my “primary business activity”?
This should relate specifically to the services you provide via WriteUpp. For example:
