The Medical Indemnity Register offers a range of Lloyds underwritten MEDICAL MALPRACTICE INSURANCE policies for anyone within the 'immediate care' field - ranging from first aiders to doctors, nurses and statutory ambulance personnel.

Members are insured for whatever actions they are certified as competent to undertake provided that, at the time of any claim, they are not receiving a wage, salary or expenses and that they are not present by design, rather than by chance. Doctors, Nurses and NHS Trust ambulance personnel are insured at times when their active employer insurance is not effective, i.e., when 'off duty'.

The sole qualification to join is the possession of a current certificate issued by an accredited organisation.

Membership benefits include the quarterly newsletter MIR News (see 'MIR News' page) which gives information on what is happening in the 'immediate care' world, details of any relevant first aid related legislation as well as the latest trends and techniques on the market.
