Flu season is looming: are you prepared?

We've all done it – given colleagues their flu vaccinations and ensured that they are up-to-date with their measles, mumps and rubella and hepatitis B status. However, as I am sure you are all aware, from 1 April 2019 NHS Resolution has been operating a new state indemnity scheme for general practice in England called the Clinical Negligence Scheme for General Practice (CNSGP) (Royal College of Nursing, 2019). This replaces practice nurses' existing indemnity insurance.

The CNSGP will provide fully comprehensive indemnity for all claims within its scope. It covers activities that are commissioned under a general medical service, personal medical service or alternative provider medical service contracts, or under a contract for the provision of enhanced primary care under Schedule 2L of the NHS Standard Contract (each a primary care contract). Cover also extends to services that are delivered under a direct sub-contract to a primary care contract. In either case, all staff of the organisation contracted to deliver the care and who provide care will receive cover under CNSGP.
