Medical Defence Union (MDU)
Reference only — not medical advice. See disclaimer.
A UK mutual defence organisation providing medico-legal advice, representation, and indemnity-style discretionary benefits to member doctors, dentists, and other healthcare professionals. Together with the Medical Protection Society (MPS) and the Medical and Dental Defence Union of Scotland (MDDUS), the MDU is one of the principal providers of UK clinician indemnity. Patients who experience harm at the hands of a returning UK clinician may find that MDU representation funds the practitioner's defence.
