NPA Insurance enhances locum pharmacist professional indemnity policy

NPA Insurance, a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Pharmacy Association (NPA), has updated its professional indemnity policy for locum pharmacists to better support their expanding roles in healthcare.

The enhanced policy now includes private and NHS prescribing cover for weight loss and other areas of competence, which is available for locums working in pharmacy, general practice and hospital settings.

Policyholders will benefit from an extended range of cover, which includes, as standard, the delivery of the NHS Pharmacy First service, the expanded pharmacy contraception service, and the re-launched hypertension
case-finding service.

Moreover, NPA Insurance has removed charges for vaccine administration, including COVID-19, flu, and travel.

Locum pharmacists will also have access to NPA Insurance’s award-winning claims team as part of the new policy.
