What is a Medico-Legal Helpline? At its core, a medico-legal helpline provides healthcare professionals with guidance on day-to-day issues that typically wouldn’t trigger a formal claim under their insurance policy. Think of it as an “expert on-call” for queries that range from general clinical advice to employment-related concerns.
Traditionally, these helplines are limited in scope—covering only the types of issues linked to a professional’s insured activities. However, at THEMIS, we’ve raised the bar.
What Sets THEMIS Apart?
-
Comprehensive Coverage Beyond the Usual THEMIS’s medico-legal helpline is a robust resource that supports clinicians not only in private practice but also in their NHS roles. This is an important distinction. Whether you’re dealing with a procedural query in your private clinic or facing challenges in an NHS setting, our helpline is here to assist.
-
Expertise for Complex Clinical Challenges THEMIS goes where no other known medico-legal service does: providing assistance for intricate clinical decisions. For instance, a neurosurgeon can access independent clinical opinions to help plan a challenging procedure. Our in-house governance team and network of clinical experts ensure you receive high-calibre, tailored advice to support safe, informed decision-making.
- Specialist Legal Support When You Need It Most Staffed by qualified and trainee lawyers, our helpline ensures fast access to specialist legal advice. Whether you’re dealing with regulatory concerns, patient disputes, or medico-legal obligations, our team is equipped to guide you efficiently.
