Where other providers have come and gone, we’re here to stay
 
We’re a member-owned, not-for-profit organisation that uses a discretionary approach to providing assistance.

We know we’re different, but we’re different in a good way. Our membership is designed to give you the protection you need to practise with confidence in today’s complex and uncertain healthcare environment. 

Mutual means we’re owned by members. And that matters.

As a mutual we bring you and other healthcare professionals together in a common purpose: collective protection against the risks involved in clinical practice. Being a mutual means your needs are at the heart of everything we do.

We are different to shareholder-owned companies whose primary purpose is to make money for other people. We don’t answer to shareholders. There is no one to pay dividends to or to tell us to abandon our purpose because the profit isn’t there. All our decisions are focused on doing what’s best for our membership. We take mutuality seriously because it’s our commitment to you, not just today, but for as long as you need us.

Every ringgit we collect is used to support members
 
Members often ask us how we can be not-for-profit. It simply means we don’t make a profit for shareholders, because we don’t have any. Instead, any surplus is reinvested to meet the needs of members. We put every ringgit back into the fund, so that we can continue to provide the quality of protection you need and deserve. That means we’re always seeking to improve the benefits and services offered to members, adapting to the emerging threats in clinical negligence, and challenging the root causes of the claims environment. 
 

Our discretionary approach to providing assistance isn’t about being able to say no...

...it’s about having the flexibility to ask ourselves ‘how can we help?’ We are different because we’re informed by the expertise and combined wisdom of your peers: doctors and legal experts who know your healthcare system. We take a flexible, adaptable approach to protecting you in a fast-moving, ever-changing environment. Our approach is fair, considered and empathetic.

  • The freedom to consider unusual requests for help. 
  • Informed experts exercising good judgment and insight. 
  • Flexibility to respond to unforeseen changes in the medicolegal environment.
