For doctors
Life Insurance For Doctors
Life insurance built around the career, income, and family commitments of medical professionals. We tailor cover to your stage, from registrar to consultant, with flexible consultation hours that fit your roster.
Why it matters
Why doctors need specialist cover
A doctor's income trajectory, hours, and exposure to occupational stress are unlike most. Off-the-shelf cover often misses the mark. Specialist advice ensures your policy values your future earnings correctly and adapts as your career progresses from registrar to consultant or partner.
Who it is for
- GPs, registrars, and consultants
- Specialists and surgeons
- Practice owners and partners
- Medical professionals with a young family or mortgage

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about life insurance for doctors
- Why do doctors need specialist insurance advice?
- Doctors have unique income trajectories, occupational exposures, and financial obligations. Specialist advice ensures cover values future earnings correctly and avoids generic underwriting that can penalise some specialties.
- Can cover scale as my career progresses?
- Yes. Many policies allow indexation and increases without further medical underwriting at key life events, which suits the income growth of a medical career.
- Do you cover registrars and junior doctors?
- Yes. We work with doctors at every stage from registrar through to senior consultant or practice partner, tailoring cover and premium to suit each stage.
- How does income protection work for doctors?
- Income protection for doctors typically replaces up to 70% of your pre-tax income. Some insurers offer 'own occupation' definitions that protect your ability to work specifically as a medical professional.
- When is the best time to lock in cover?
- Earlier is almost always cheaper. Premiums are based on age and health at application, so securing cover as a registrar or early consultant can lock in lower long-term costs.
