Medical Elective Indemnity Insurance for International Students

Hi everyone,

I have a dilemma... I have all my documents ready for my medical elective in the UK, however, I have hit a road block with my indemnity insurance - for some reason UK insurers do not provide malpractice / medical indemnity to international students? It's strange because I can be covered in almost every other continent...

Can anyone provide advice? My home country cannot provide coverage for an international elective and my medical school can't either. Am hoping anyone may have some suggestions or insurers they save used previously?

Thanks so much!
