Life assurance when you are on your practice learning placement during the pandemic

The NHS and Social Care Coronavirus Life Assurance (England) Scheme 2020 has been set up for eligible frontline health and social care workers during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. 

The scheme offers cover to those who are ‘deemed eligible’ as well as those who are ‘automatically eligible’.

As a King’s student on a supernumerary (unpaid) placement, you are covered under the category of deemed eligible. This means that while you are not automatically covered by the scheme, which is designed for employees, claims from people deemed eligible will be individually assessed.
