Indemnity cover
In 2019, an indemnity scheme was introduced in England, covering all staff working in general practice. Although the scheme covers work delivered under an NHS contract, there are certain exceptions, including private vaccinations. Here, Helene Irvine, nurse adviser, and Michelle Lombardi, primary care director, both at Wessex Local Medical Committees, look at the scheme and aim to clarify the finer details on who and what is covered, and what, if any, extra indemnity nurses and healthcare assistants (HCAs) must obtain to ensure that their work is fully covered.
