Happy National Insurance Awareness Day!

Jun 28, 2026

Today is a great opportunity to recognise the important role insurance plays in protecting healthcare professionals, practices, and businesses across the UK.

From GP surgeries and dental practices to veterinary clinics and allied healthcare providers, having the right insurance arrangements in place can provide valuable peace of mind. In an increasingly complex and regulated environment, insurance is about more than meeting contractual or regulatory requirements it’s about safeguarding livelihoods, protecting reputations, and helping organisations remain resilient when unexpected challenges arise.

At Practice Cover, we understand that no two healthcare organisations are the same. As one of the few independent insurance broker specialising in the healthcare sector, we work closely with our clients to understand their individual risks and help arrange insurance solutions that are tailored to their needs.

Whether you’re reviewing your practice premises, locum insurance, cyber liability, management liability, professional indemnity, medical malpractice, or wider business insurance arrangements, it’s important to ensure your cover continues to reflect the way your organisation operates today.

National Insurance Awareness Day is also a useful reminder to ask:

  • Has your practice changed or expanded recently?
  • Have you introduced new services or treatments?
  • Are your sums insured still adequate?
  • Have your cyber and data protection risks evolved?
  • Is your current insurance programme delivering the protection you expect?

Even if you’re not due for renewal, a conversation can often help identify potential gaps, overlaps, or opportunities to improve your insurance arrangements.

At Practice Cover, we’re always happy to support healthcare professionals with a fresh perspective, whether that’s arranging new cover, reviewing existing policies, or simply providing a second opinion on your current programme.

We’re happy to connect in the way that works best for you over the phone, via a team meeting, or face-to-face at your practice.

If you’d like a no-obligation review of your current insurance arrangements, we’d be delighted to help.
