The cover you legally can't trial without.
UK regulations require appropriate insurance before a trial can start. We help you understand exactly what you need and arrange the right cover — fast.
The challenge
In the UK, you can't legally start a clinical trial without appropriate insurance and indemnity in place. But policies are confusing, quotes vary wildly, and getting it wrong can delay your trial or leave you exposed. First-time sponsors often discover the requirement late — when it's already a blocker.

Clinical trial insurance is a legal prerequisite for running a trial in the UK. Under the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) Regulations 2004, appropriate insurance or indemnity must be in place before a trial can begin — to cover potential harm to participants.
The challenge is knowing exactly what cover you need and arranging it without delay. We translate the requirements into a clear policy, help you arrange clinical trial liability and professional indemnity cover, and keep it from becoming the thing that holds up your trial.
