  Medical Defence Unions (MDUs) do not offer complete protection. With defence union memberships, it is important to remember that their Indemnity insurance is discretionary. This means that when a claim is brought against you, the union has the opportunity to review the claim internally. After reviewing your claim, the MDU will decide if they will cover you and your legal costs. If they decide not you, you are personally responsible to cover those costs.
