NHS sick pay stops at 6 months full pay, then 6 months half pay – if you even qualify. After that? Nothing. Income protection fills the gap with monthly payments until you can return to work.

Why Doctors Need
Income Protection

NHS Sick Pay Won't Cover Your Bills
Private Practice or Locum? You're Completely Exposed
No employer means no safety net. One illness or injury could cut off your income completely. Income protection insurance provides guaranteed, tax-free income, regardless of how you work.
What Your Policy Actually Covers
Monthly payments (up to 70% of your income), tax-free, paid until you recover, retire, or reach policy end – enough to maintain your lifestyle, keep your family secure, and protect everything you’ve worked for.
Protection That Grows with Your Career
From foundation year to consultant, your income and responsibilities change. We ensure your cover evolves to match every stage of your medical career progression.
"Own Occupation" Cover - Why It Matters for Doctors

Completely free consultation with no obligation. We only earn commission if you choose to proceed, which allows us to provide expert guidance at no cost to you.
