Perceptions of risk

Dr Christine Tomkins MDU chief executive
Although it is impossible to entirely eliminate risk from medical practice, the MDU provides a model of defence supported by expert evidence. This model provides the greatest benefits for members

Over the last five years, we successfully defended 70% of claims without a financial settlement, and in 2014, 80% of medical claims were repudiated.
