Help with the cost of GP indemnity

NHS England has announced plans to help GPs cope with extra demand over the winter period by reimbursing the indemnity costs for out-of-hours sessions.

The NHS England Winter indemnity scheme has been developed with the Medical Defence Organisations to offset the additional indemnity premium for GPs who wish to work additional sessions for their out-of-hours (OOH) providers. The scheme will run between December 2015 and March 2016 and means doctors can commit to more OOH sessions without the need for them to negotiate additional changes to their level of indemnity cover.
