Tempted by cheaper insurance for your practice?
With the AOP, optometrist practice owners get so much more than medical malpractice insurance. Don't settle for anything less
“Louise has been fantastic in dealing with our ongoing HR issue. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Plus, a pleasure to deal with”
You’re covered for the acts and omissions of dispensing opticians and other practice staff
Without vicarious liability insurance, you could be liable for the actions of an employee. We include vicarious liability insurance as standard as part of your membership.
Your business is covered if a claim comes in after an employee or locum member has stopped working for you
As long as you have the vicarious liability cover through your AOP membership when the claim is notified, your business will be covered.
