UCLH Private Healthcare offers consultants and other independent practitioners access to an indemnity scheme which provides professional indemnity for their private practice at UCLH. Memberships fees are based on the cost to UCLH of purchasing the scheme.

Private practice at UCLH is not dependent on participation in this scheme; UCLH Private Healthcare accepts evidence of indemnity from any appropriate provider.
