In a workplace environment, any doctor, nurse, therapist or even dentist is ordinarily covered against malpractice by their employer's medical indemnity insurance - as long as they are working in a professional capacity. However, care given in a non-professional capacity, such as that given for an unrelated medical emergency occurring in the place of work, or outside of work, may not necessarily be covered. For example, if you were to give emergency first aid outside of work you may not be covered and if something went wrong, you could be sued.
