Ceasing practice

In addition to clinical negligence, will Dental Protection assist with other liability arising from my practice?
21 June 2021

Extended liability

Dental Protection membership grants the right to request indemnity in relation to your own clinical practice.

However, as an owner or partner in a practice you may be responsible for liability arising from other elements of the business, for example:

  • vicarious liability for the acts and omissions of other healthcare professionals or staff at your practice;
  • liability for products that are sold at your practice;
  • liability in relation to the safety of the practice environment; and
  • liability for non-clinical matters such as taxes and the performance of contracts entered into by or on behalf of your practice.

It is important to understand that the subscription for an individual Dental Protection member is calculated on the basis of the risk represented by that member alone. 

In the interests of fairness across the membership as a whole, where you are exposed to additional liabilities (such as those listed above), you do not have the right request indemnity for matters beyond your own clinical practice, unless your membership grade is expressly extended to cover these. 

Note that Dental Protection offers corporate membership and other bespoke arrangements for members who require indemnity for the clinical negligence of their staff. Please contact your local membership office for further information.
