we will do it together
The provision of healthcare has always carried risk. As medicine has advanced, expectations have risen and tolerance for risk has diminished. If something goes wrong, someone must be to blame.
At the same time, the complexity of modern medicine brings risks of its own. Often these have little to do with the mission of healthcare providers and caregivers. They derive from complex rules such as those regarding the handling of confidential information. If these risks are not well handled, they can prove enormously costly.
Needham Insurance is an expert in the healthcare sector and has created a medical malpractice insurance package specifically designed for small businesses.
A range of small businesses can benefit from Needham’s medical malpractice cover including:

the Hippocratic oath forbad doctors operating on patients to remove gallstones because the procedure was deemed too risky. But as medicine has advanced, expectations have risen and tolerance for risk has diminished.
