Locum insurance pays for cover when accident, sickness or other unplanned absence affects your practice. It not only covers the costs of hiring a Locum, or temporary staff, but also extra hours worked by existing team members.

The policy protects the practice’s revenue stream and by maintaining service levels, its reputation. It also reduces the risk of an absent partner funding the costs themselves or being struck from the partnership because they cannot meet their contractual obligations.

Being unable to work through sickness or absence can have many serious effects, not least a loss of income.

Income Protection insurance pays up to 60% of your salary if you are unable to work through sickness or accident. The regular, tax-free income provided continues to be paid until your normal retirement date (or return to work, if sooner).

The payment provides an income, giving you and your family peace of mind at a difficult time. As long as the premiums are maintained, cover is guaranteed for the duration of the plan, meaning you can claim as many times as required. If you return to work in a reduced capacity, the policy will continue to pay out at a reduced level.

With insurance companies fighting for business there is no better time to review your current policies.

Should you suffer from a critical illness the priority is, rightly, treatment and recovery. But the sad fact remains that, by its unplanned nature, dealing with a critical illness brings its own costs and consequences.

Critical Illness insurance provides a tax-free, cash payment if the policy holder is diagnosed with one of the critical illnesses listed in the policy. These will vary by policy but typically include 50 illnesses, with cancer, heart attack, stroke and MS the top four illnesses claimed-for.
