THEMIS and QBE Forge Strategic Partnership to Shape the Future of Medical Malpractice Indemnity

Dedicated 5-Year Capacity Commitment

The partnership between THEMIS and QBE secures dedicated capacity to underpin THEMIS’s ambitious growth plans, offering stability and a clear pathway for significant expansion over the next five years.

In the UK, this commitment enables THEMIS to broaden access to its market-leading solutions—contractual indemnity, precision underwriting, and expert claims management—empowering more healthcare professionals with dependable and innovative coverage.

Global International Expansion for THEMIS

Leveraging QBE’s extensive global network and THEMIS’s specialist expertise, this partnership accelerates the groundwork for THEMIS’s international growth. With product launches planned in key regions over the coming years, THEMIS is poised to address global challenges surrounding the quality of indemnity products and the complexities of underwriting clinical risks. By introducing its contractually guaranteed solutions to new markets, THEMIS aims to raise standards and provide healthcare professionals worldwide with the protection they deserve.

Underwriting Technology

Central to THEMIS’s success is its advanced AI-powered underwriting engine, which empowers its experienced in-house underwriters to deliver precision risk assessment and unmatched pricing accuracy. This data-driven technology continuously evolves through learning, enabling superior underwriting decisions.

Advancing Patient Safety and Clinical Risk Management

As part of the partnership, THEMIS will share its innovative patient safety and clinical risk management initiatives—already a cornerstone of its personal product—with QBE’s existing corporate offering. These initiatives leverage THEMIS’s deep insights into clinical risk, helping to drive improved healthcare standards while reducing claims exposure. This collaboration further enhances the value both organisations bring to their clients, establishing a shared commitment to quality and safety.

Strengthening the In-House Legal Model

Recognising the growing demand for legal support through the medico-legal helpline and preparing for future claims growth aligned with overall business expansion, THEMIS has strategically bolstered its in-house legal expertise. The recent recruitment of Neil Rowe as Senior In-House Counsel reflects THEMIS’s proactive approach to delivering instant access to expert legal advice, ensuring claims are managed efficiently while protecting the product’s exceptional loss ratio.

George Maughan, Head of Client Relations at THEMIS, commented:

“This partnership with QBE represents a major step forward in our mission to provide the market with stable, reliable, and innovative contractual indemnity solutions. Our shared vision for the future of medical malpractice insurance underpins our strategy to deliver value not only in the UK but also globally. THEMIS is committed to leading the way as a trusted partner for healthcare professionals.”

Doug Walker, Portfolio Manager – Medical Malpractice & Healthcare Practice Leader at QBE said:

“We are proud to partner with THEMIS, whose forward-thinking approach and strong market results align perfectly with our commitment to delivering secure and sustainable solutions.”
