The MDU
Medical Defence Union (MDU) is a mutual, not-for-profit organisation run by doctors, for doctors. Owned by our members, we provide access to professional indemnity and expert medico-legal support throughout a medical career. As the UK’s leading medical defence organisation, we have a long-standing track record of guiding, supporting and defending healthcare professionals when it matters most. MDU membership offers more than indemnity, with 24/7 access to expert advice, support with complaints and investigations, learning and development resources, HR guidance, specialist financial services, and wellbeing support. From students to retirement, we’re on your side, by your side.
