MDU

The Medical Defence Union (MDU) takes care of those who take care of others. The not-for-profit organization is owned by its members, which include doctors, dentists, and other health care professionals based in the UK and Ireland. It supports its 165,000 members on legal issues, offers advice, and provides continuing education. Also very important to its members is the insurance coverage offered through the organization, which is provided by a division of reinsurance firm, SCOR Holding (formerly Converium). MDU was founded in 1885 to defend the reputations of doctors.
