SEMPRIS is the sole UK indemnity provider safeguarding doctors from third-party risks in treating professional sportspeople.
SEM-PRIS: Protecting Doctors in Sports Medicine
Traditional MDOs may not cover significant risks doctors face in treating professional sportspeople. At SEMPRIS, we provide a solution backed by Lloyd’s of London underwriters, addressing the growing claims against doctors from employers, clubs, agents, and sponsors. Our website helps doctors assess their risk exposure.
Choose SEMPRIS for comprehensive protection tailored to the unique risks faced by doctors treating professional sportspeople. Launched in 2010 in response to doctors’ requests, SEMPRIS provides a secure insurance policy underwritten by Allied World Assurance Company (Europe) dac and Lloyd’s of London Syndicates, arranged through Paragon International Insurance Brokers. Backed by A-rated insurers, SEMPRIS underwriters are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), ensuring accountability and reliability.
The SEMPRIS policy addresses the inadequacies of my previous indemnity cover for the treatment of professional sports people. Not only is SEMPRIS part of a hugely professional organisation, but their premium is substantially lower than my previous insurers.
As a member of SEMPRIS since 2011, I would encourage any colleague whose practice includes professional athletes to discuss their circumstances with SEMPRIS. I moved to SEMPRIS because of this very issue and I have nothing but praise for the detailed understanding, service levels and fully comprehensive cover which the SEMPRIS team provide.
My experience with SEMPRIS has been very positive since joining; the customer service and support has been excellent. Changing provider was an easy process and choice for me as SEMPRIS were able to cover my general radiology, sports imaging and image-guided interventional radiology practice with minimum fuss after a simple assessment of my scope of practice.
The SEMPRIS medico-legal service provided by DWF was fantastic after I was subject to a malicious allegation to the GMC. I have never had such a good experience with lawyers. The advisors were on hand when I needed the advice and dealt with it promptly and efficiently. Through their excellent handling of the case and first-class recommendations, the case was dismissed by the GMC. During an incredibly difficult time, it was very reassuring to have SEMPRIS and DWF on side.
Commercial Combined Liability insurance is a comprehensive insurance policy designed to protect businesses from a variety of risks and liabilities. This type of policy typically includes several types of coverage, such as public liability, product liability, and employers’ liability, all bundled into one package.
Employers Liability insurance provides coverage for employers against claims made by employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. In the healthcare sector, this type of insurance is especially important due to the high-risk environment in which employees operate.
Virtual Care Insurance is crucial for healthcare providers because it addresses the specific risks that come with delivering healthcare services through digital platforms, such as malpractice claims, cyberattacks and regulatory fines.
