PDL is the only professional indemnity insurance I would consider having. Gives peace of mind to your everyday practice.

Sarah Community pharmacist, February 2021

You understand it can be stressful reporting issues. And it is always handled with care and professionalism.

Renee Hospital pharmacist, February 2021

I greatly appreciate the level of support and care from PDL officers in an incident reported over a year ago. The assistance provided has greatly increased my confidence as an early career pharmacist.

Ray Community pharmacist, February 2021

It's reassuring to know that PDL is there if needed. When I have needed to call PDL over 40 years of my registration, my experience has been one of having someone ‘on my side’ there to clearly explain steps I need to take. Takes the emotion out of the equation, so I have felt reassured.

Katerina Community pharmacist, February 2021

I enjoy the newsletters that outline mistakes made and learning points from each of them. The pairing with ajp makes for accessible cpd. Also the ability to contact a person on the phone does give peace of mind.

Jessica Hospital pharmacist, February 2021

Thank you for doing such a great job in supporting pharmacists.

Alice Community pharmacist, February 2021

Everyone who works with PDL - Thank you.

Kim Hospital pharmacist, February 2021

Just wanted to pass on a massive thank you to the professional officer, Hayley, who was so helpful with my query today regarding a potential complaint. I felt so supported and reassured and I know my colleague who was also involved in the incident did too. This was my first time calling PDL and I am so thankful that I did. Thank you Hayley!
