Free MDU membership for doctors fleeing war in Ukraine
The Medical Defence Union (MDU) is offering to waive the first year of membership subscriptions for doctors who are fleeing the Ukraine or other conflict zones and are looking to resume practice in NHS roles.
This follows news that the GMC plans to fast-track applications from doctors escaping the war.

Those doctors applying for MDU membership will need to first have GMC registration. Membership will be free for the first year for doctors working in NHS indemnified roles only.
MDU chief executive Dr Matthew Lee said: ‘This is in recognition of the solidarity healthcare professionals feel with their colleagues in the Ukraine and other affected countries.
‘Of course, we hope that the healthcare professionals affected will be able to return to their own countries as soon as it is safe to do so, but we want to support them to continue to practise in the meantime.’
