A colleague was advised that in the event of using her own car to transport an ill colleague to hospital (they chose to do this rather than ring 999) , she was not covered by her car insurance policy. The car being used was neither a company car nor a car with business use specified on her insurance. Can anyone help?

I can confirm that insurance covering work activity would be required for this. I have had te same problems in previous positions

using your own car/company car, whether for buisness or not, the practice of taking someone to hospital due to accident/injury at work, is frowned by many people in our profession, as what happens if their conditon gets worse, they have a panic attack etc etc. A lot of the above also will depend on the seveirty etc etc but from a moral point of view what would you do??
