Webinar: Emerging risks in healthcare and the mental health crisis 2026

The surge in behavioural health services is one of the fastest growing exposures in medical professional liability (MPL) insurance. From a routine physical to senior care, behavioural health is now a part of most patient-provider conversations. From increased demand and patient complexity to the impact of technology and influence of private equity to the delivery of services and alternative treatments, the risk profile is rapidly evolving.

Join Insurance Insider for a free webinar at 10:30 ET/15:30 BST on 17 June, in partnership with Markel, as we explore the exposure, risk mitigation and underwriting of this exposure.
