When you go from being a registrar to a consultant, you suddenly have to make all the decisions by yourself. So, I found it really helpful to have the backing of Avant’s Medico-legal Advisory Service. I could contact their medico-legal team for advice whenever I had any queries or concerns.
"
My advice to new fellows is to embrace what you've trained for and enjoy whichever path you've chosen. When it comes to picking your medical indemnity provider, costs should not be the only factor involved. There are many other factors that make Avant better than the rest and that includes being a mutual, providing member education and encouraging members to call Avant’s Medico-legal Advisory Service for advice whenever they need it.
