The Health Care and Associated Professions (Indemnity Arrangements) Order 2014
This Order makes amendments to the framework legislation for the regulation of doctors, dentists and dental care practitioners, optometrists and dispensing opticians, osteopaths, chiropractors, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, nurses and midwives, and the professions regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council. It makes amendments for doctors, dentists and dental care practitioners, optometrists and dispensing opticians, osteopaths, chiropractors and pharmacists and pharmacy technicians in relation to indemnity arrangements and professional liability insurance and introduces similar arrangements in legislation for nurses and midwives, and professions regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council. The amendments in this Order implement the main recommendations made by the Finlay Scott review which include the requirement for practising regulated healthcare professionals to have insurance or indemnity as a condition of registration (or in the case of a medical practitioner, a condition of obtaining a licence to practise) . The Order also implements Article 4(2)(d) of Directive 2011/24/EC (“the Directive”) on the application of patients' rights in cross-border healthcare. Article 4(2)(d) of the Directive requires Member States to have in place systems of professional liability cover or similar in respect of cross-border healthcare for patients receiving treatment in the Member State in question.
