Welcome to our latest Horizons round-up.
Unbelievably, we’re nearly at the end of another challenging year! Our members really have gone above and beyond, and all deserve something merry in recognition of the resilience shown.
There are some questions around risk and the scope of indemnity that crop up time and again, so we start this edition with four key recommendations that anyone should be asking their indemnifier. https://www.sempris.co.uk/2021/11/18/four-questions-to-ask-a-medical-indemnifier-before-signing/
