Dental nurse insurance

Depending on the circumstances, the insurer who provides the insurance on a claims-made basis up to the point when you stop practicing will offer you the option of purchasing ‘run-off’ cover. This provides you with peace of mind in the event of a claim being notified after you have ceased to practice or trade.

Whilst this decision is down to individual choice, we would strongly recommend that you make arrangements to be continuously protected for your past treatments or services.

If you are due to go on maternity leave, please contact us as soon as possible and we'll speak with the insurer for you. We may be able to arrange extended cover, but please remember that it is not advisable to cancel your insurance during this time.

You would need to check with your practice manager, as although it may provide you with an element of cover, we have found that this does not always cover for GDC disciplinary hearings which is a requirement of the GDC.

To meet GDC guidelines, you need either a Medical Defence Organisation membership, professional indemnity insurance (either held by you or your employer) or NHS indemnity. Full information can be found on the GDC website.

The policy will provide protection to you for your extended duties within the GDC scope of practice for dental nurses, for example: sedation and implantology would be fine if you were able to provide proof of training and qualification, should the insurer require this.

All of our premiums are set by the insurer and are of a set rate for dental nurses. Our schedules, however, do not display our customer service charge for the administration of the policy. Please note that occasionally the insurer will assess a case individually, which could effect the premium.

Sorry, we cannot offer monthly Direct Debits on our medical indemnity for dental nurses insurance policy.
