Medical charity
Tailored insurance cover | Market-leading support from the MDU
In any medical charity, the focus is clearly on delivering and maintaining the highest standards of care. Despite their charitable status, organisations remain open to complaints and a myriad of investigations that can follow any adverse incidents and claims.
Some have their roots in issues like consent, delayed or misdiagnoses, treatment errors, or failures in post-treatment advice and care.
But these are not the only risks. Problems can also arise from administrative errors – from lost records to privacy and confidentiality issues.
Providing a safety net
The sad truth is that it is likely that those working in a medical charity setting will be involved in dealing with a complaint at some stage in their careers. Whatever the cause, the right guidance, support and defence can be crucial to protecting the organisation and its people.
MDUConnect is designed to provide that safety net, drawing on a wealth of essential experience, and our services are not limited to stepping in when something goes wrong.
