New specialist indemnity insurance for medical cannabis prescribers and clinics
October 20, 2026 | IN INFORMATION | BY Kate Thorpe
The Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society is pleased to welcome Primus Indemnity as a Recognised Partner, providing our members, prescribers and medical cannabis clinics with greater choice and access to specialist indemnity cover tailored to the unique requirements of the medical cannabis sector.
Medical cannabis is a developing area of clinical practice, and standard indemnity products do not always reflect the way clinicians and clinics work. Primus takes the time to understand each applicant’s practice and provides access to cover designed specifically for prescribing medical cannabis.
The policy offers a £1 million indemnity limit and access to a 24-hour medico-legal helpline provided by an experienced international clinical negligence law firm. It can accommodate clinicians based around the world who prescribe in accordance with the policy terms.
Cover can also include:
- A 25-year extended reporting period
- GMC proceedings connected with private practice
- Coroners’ Inquests and Fatal Accident Inquiries
- Vicarious liability
- Data liability and public liability claims
- Reputational protection
- Worldwide Good Samaritan cover
Primus also places a strong emphasis on personal service. Its team is available to explain the cover in straightforward terms, answer questions and help clinicians review their indemnity as their practice develops.
As a Recognised Partner, Primus will work with MCCS to support our professional community and build a better understanding of the indemnity and medical cannabis insurance needs of those working in the sector. The partnership will also give members opportunities to learn more about managing medico-legal risk and choosing suitable cover as their practice develops.
Primus joins our network of trusted organisations that share our commitment to high standards, informed clinical practice and better support for the sector.
