The MDU is the UK's leading medical defence union. It is a mutual, not for profit organisation established in 1885. Their web site contains much useful guidance for doctors and dentists. Bankside Law is one of only a few law firms to whom the MDU refers cases involving their members who are facing investigation by the GMC, Coroners' Inquests and criminal cases linked to their work. As a result we have extensive experience in those fields and can provide expert representation for doctors and indeed all health professionals. We also accept private instructions if no cover is available.
