Spain has always been a ‘go to’ destination for many types of surgery because of the fabulous recuperation on offer. There is nothing better after an operation than healing in a beautiful climate near the sea.
That is why many private clients who have the choice, choose to have their operations in places like Marbella or even in cities like Madrid.
In addition, the general competence of the surgeons and their credentials are of a high standard meaning that patients often prefer to head overseas from places like the UK for surgery.
Another thing that Spain is renowned for is the high quality of their medical facilities, both private and public. They often already have the latest equipment in place and utilise the latest techniques.
That said, the staff in the medical business, certainly on the public side of things, generally work long hours.
In fact, medical staff are known all over the world for working long hours in extremely stressful conditions and while they most act totally professional and with integrity at all times, these conditions mean that sometimes mistakes can happen.
It actually does not matter whether we are referring to medical procedures in Spain or UK, the conditions within the industry seem to be fairly consistent.
This is why, as a medical professional, you will need to look at the possibility that something along the way in your career might not go the way it should.
We have car insurance as a safety mechanism that if we one day had a serious accident that resulted in the loss of life, parts of the policy will cover certain liabilities and amounts.
Likewise, for medical professionals it is a wise idea to have some type of medical professional liability insurance to cover against malpractice claims and negligence claims.
There are some companies that specialise in this type of insurance such as The MPLC who are based in Gibraltar. See their website and find out more about International Medical Liability Insurance.
