MPS Group

Dental Protection

Dental Protection Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Medical Protection Society Limited (MPS), the world’s leading protection organisation for doctors, dentists and healthcare professionals. 

Dental Protection Limited serves and supports the dental members of MPS, with access to the full range of benefits of membership which are all discretionary and set out in MPS’s Memorandum and Articles of Association

MPS is not an insurance company. Dental Protection® is a registered trademark of MPS.

Medical Protection Society

MPS protects and support the professional interests of more than 290,000 members around the world. Our benefits include access to indemnity, expert advice and peace of mind. Highly qualified advisers are on hand to talk through a question or concern at any time.

Our in-house experts assist with the wide range of legal and ethical problems that arise from professional practice. This includes clinical negligence claims, complaints, medical and dental council inquiries, legal and ethical dilemmas, disciplinary procedures, inquests and fatal accident inquiries.

Our philosophy is to support safe practice in medicine and dentistry by helping to avert problems in the first place. We do this by promoting risk management through our workshops, E-learning, clinical risk assessments, publications, conferences, lectures and presentations.

In June 2012, MPS made the strategic decision that MPS Risk Solutions Limited would withdraw from the insurance market. All policies have now expired and the main purpose of MPS Risk Solutions Limited is to focus on providing the highest standard of service for claims management, in respect of those incidents that have been notified and accepted under policies that were previously in force.
