Get in touchWhat is podiatrists insurance?
Podiatrists insurance is a specialist policy that protects podiatry and chiropody professionals from the clinical risks of treating foot and lower limb conditions. It typically includes professional indemnity, public liability and employers liability.
If a patient claims your nail surgery caused an infection, your biomechanical assessment was incorrect, or your orthotic prescription was faulty, professional indemnity covers the resulting claim.
