Professional indemnity provided by our partners include representation services for any action, proceeding, claim or demand arising from your professional practice including:
- Legal costs of clinical negligence claims
Since medical malpractice litigation can become very expensive very quickly, HPG is in partnership with a strong network of insurance companies to provide you with professional indemnity against negligence claims. We are involved in a claim from first notification to the conclusion, ensuring that all the legal costs and compensation payments are made on your behalf. - Advice and legal representation for HPCSA complaints or alleged misconduct
We provide advice and legal representation for HPCSA inquiries arising from alleged professional ethical misconduct. HPG can help you from the outset, whether it be drafting a letter or providing high-calibre legal representation at a full hearing. - Legal cover for disciplinary hearings
We can provide legal advice and representation if you face allegations arising from the provision of clinical care to patients, concerning your professional conduct, competence and performance. Our legal defender cover goes beyond workplace disciplinary hearings and also covers any criminal as well as civil matters including contract disputes. - Preparing for court appearances
We can help you prepare a report on a malpractice matter, and advise you on how to conduct yourself at an inquest or inquiry where you may be providing evidence. We also provide a lawyer or legal representation throughout the duration of the inquiries. - HPG responder package for criminal proceedings
The HPG responder package is designed to provide cover to you for any criminal matter, not only confined to healthcare matters. This could include alleged drunk and driving arrests and urgent bail application etc. - Medicolegal advisory service
Through our partnership with Natmed, you will have 24/7 access to a medicolegal adviser to assist you with any matter that you may be faced with in your clinical practice. You can phone or email us for advice to help resolve the many dilemmas that can arise from everyday practice.
