Gold Standard Protection for Locum Pharmacists

NPA Insurance provides thousands of locums with vital professional indemnity and legal defence protection. Cover is available for locums working in pharmacy, general practice, and hospital settings, and includes access to NPA Insurance’s award-winning claims team.

We understand the financial pressures pharmacists are facing and the need to diversify. Our Gold Standard Locum Prescriber Insurance covers both NHS and Private prescribing in your area of competence, including weight loss and other specialist treatment areas.

Covering your specialist needs as you evolve

Unlike other insurance providers, we are an insurance company fully owned by a not-for-profit organisation – the NPA – and as the underwriter we decide what is covered and ensure our coverage evolves in line with pharmacy practice. Our insurance products regularly change to better meet your needs – often providing additional cover at no extra charge. Whether it’s Pharmacy First, travel vaccinations, weight loss or other innovative services, we’ve got you covered.

Don’t take risks with your cover

Our specially tailored Locum Pharmacist policy provides market-leading breadth of cover and with over 125 years of protecting pharmacists, our award-winning teams are there to provide unrivalled knowledge and legal expertise when you need them.

Access to expert guidance and resources

As a further benefit our Locum policy holders can access the NPA’s wealth of resources for a discounted price. Policy holders can become an NPA Associated Pharmacist, and gain access to training, an advice and support line for clinical queries, drug tariff questions, medicine safety guidance and SOP’s.

For peace of mind, choose NPA Insurance.
