Insurance insights: Medical malpractice matters, September 2025
Welcome to the inaugural issue of med malpractice matters. In this edition, we address a diverse array of topics that are currently influencing the fields of healthcare and insurance.
We begin with an in-depth look at the NHS 10-year plan, focusing on its ramifications for the private healthcare industry. We then shift our attention to the newly established regulatory framework for non-surgical cosmetic procedures, evaluating its impact on insurers and those providing indemnity.
The edition continues with an exploration of artificial intelligence in healthcare, assessing its role and implications in both public and private sectors. We also navigate through the complex legal and insurance landscapes in sports medicine, a critical area for practitioners and insurers alike.
We discuss the sensitive topic of private maternity scanning and the medico-legal issues it presents. Concluding our edition, we analyse the recent judgment in Pashamov v Taylor and Edward Vinson Ltd, which sheds light on the cost risks for defendants in multi-party claims.
We hope that you will find this edition insightful and thought-provoking. Should you have any comments or wish to discuss any of the topics further, please feel free to reach out.
