Specialist insurer CFC is combining its medical malpractice and healthcare teams to create what it says is the largest healthcare team in the London market. The move will see CFC’s UK and international experts in eHealth, medical malpractice and allied health come together to operate as one team reporting into Tim Boyce who took up the role of head of professions and healthcare in 2021.

The team now numbers 15 underwriters working across 80 countries with 1,600 brokers that reach over 6,000 end clients around the world. Boyce said: “Our newly formed healthcare team has decades of experience behind them and a wealth of knowledge of not only working with regimented and government-controlled industries, but also in pioneering solutions for the new digital health companies that are playing an increasingly important role in how our healthcare professionals deliver the care patients need.”

Healthcare professionals and businesses are increasingly facing a new wave of emerging risks. Boyce believes that while the convergence of medicine and technology has been quietly underway for several years, the pandemic forced a massive acceleration in the adoption of digital health solutions.

He said: “We believe that bringing our experts together under one operating unit will deliver the skills and focus required to continue to create insurance and risk management solutions that are fit for purpose and mitigate the rising tide of emerging threats to patient safety.”
