Medical liability
insurance
Medical Malpractice Insurance, (sometimes referred to as Medical Indemnity) is a form of Professional Liability and is essential for cosmetic surgeons and practitioners working in the Republic of Ireland. If you don’t have insurance in place, in the unfortunate event of something going wrong with your treatments, you could be held personally liable for any compensation claims and legal fees that arise as a result.
Pursuing court cases for negligence or malpractice claims is both expensive and time-consuming and could also have a damaging effect on your name and reputation. The repercussions of such cases can have a long-lasting impact on your career. However, having the right insurance in place is a sensible way to protect yourself and avoid these pitfalls if you’re found to be at fault.
Whilst any medical or cosmetic procedure comes with a level of risk that patients are made aware of, unintended and unexpected consequences can sometimes arise, such as allergic or adverse reactions. Knowing that you’re covered for these situations will give you peace of mind and leave you free to fully concentrate on delivering high-quality treatments. Medical liability insurance is there to protect you and your reputation when issues like this occur, contributing to your continuing success as an aesthetic practitioner

FAQs
Who needs medical liability insurance?
Any aesthetic practitioner based in the Republic of Ireland or the EU should ensure they are protected (you may even find it is a requirement of your regulatory body). It doesn’t matter whether you have your own clinic, work independently, or are a freelance practitioner at a larger clinic. If you have your own clinic that employs other practitioners, you will also be liable for the work of your staff members.
What does the insurance cover?
This type of insurance protects you against claims of malpractice and/or negligence. These claims would otherwise be costly to resolve. It’ll also cover you against other risks such as breaches of confidentiality and Good Samaritan Acts
