For those currently working in Private Practice, you may not be aware BAPO offers a Private Insurance Cover extension available exclusively to BAPO members. This policy runs between May 1st to April 30th each year.
Last year, this cover cost £600 and we are delighted to be able to hold the cost for another year. Please note due to the nature of the cover, it has to be purchased in a single payment and cannot be paid by Direct Debit or split payments.
This cover affords every member with a claims limit of £10M in any insurance year for Medical Malpractice, Public and Product Liability.
From April, you will be able to purchase your 2024/2025 Private Insurance Cover extension online, through your BAPO membership profile. Please note, this is only available to BAPO full members and member graduates.
Please follow these steps to activate or renew your insurance:
1. Log in to your BAPO account. Not a member? Join here

You will also be able to view and download your BAPO Private Practice Insurance certificate, the Proof of Insurance letter and the full policy document confirming your cover by logging into your member profile, navigating to “My Membership” tab and accessing the “PPI Certificates and policy details” section.
