Session overview
This members-only webinar will give physiotherapy sole practitioners and private practice owners a clear understanding of their core insurance requirements, with a particular focus on medical malpractice and public liability cover.
The session will explore how insurance exposure differs between individual practitioners and clinic owners, what standard policies typically cover and exclude, and where misunderstandings most commonly arise as practices grow or change.
The panel will also touch on wider considerations such as income protection, critical illness cover, and practice insurance for clinics and premises. Real-world claims insight will be used to bring these issues to life and help members understand how cover responds in practice.
