If you are employed by the Hospital Authority (HA), you are welcome to continue your individual membership with us. Although this would be in addition to the new HA arrangement. 

With Dental Protection your membership is provided on an occurrence-basis. This offers greater peace of mind, as you can request help for incidents that took place during membership, at any point in the future and without additional cost.* There are also no caps or limits to the indemnity we can offer. 

You will also be able to request essential support that goes beyond regulatory assistance, should the worst happen. This includes help with disciplinary proceedings, coroner’s inquests, criminal investigations arising from clinical care, and protection for Good Samaritan acts.

* The benefits of membership are only available to members paying the appropriate subscription, and are provided subject to the conditions set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

For information on regulatory cases that are open or not reported yet scroll down to FAQ titled "What happens if I have an existing regulatory case?" and Will I be protected for regulatory matters that haven't been reported yet?" respectively.

If you are renewing your Dental Protection membership you will continue your full government and HA membership. This includes assistance for regulatory matters, such as dental council issues. 

Should you wish to, you can remove regulatory assistance from your membership (as this is now offered by HA) at your next renewal. This will result in a reduced subscription and you can continue to access the remaining benefits.

The outcome of the tender has been announced and we expect the changes to come into effect on 1 December.

Yes you can. With members at the heart of what we do, you can  continue your government and HA membership with regulatory assistance. 
Your continued membership will provide you with access to a wide range of benefits that go beyond regulatory assistance:

• Criminal investigations
• Disciplinary proceedings
• Risk management
• Coroners inquests
• Advice dealing with complaints

Members have told us they want more choice, should you wish to do so you can tailor your membership to remove regulatory assistance. You can move to this new membership at your next renewal, with your subscription price adjusted accordingly.

Unfortunately, no. Membership cannot be ended or changed part way through the year. As part of your membership you will be able to continue to access the member benefits, including assistance for regulatory matters that occur during membership.
