Probity for Healthcare Professionals is a CPD-accredited online course designed specifically for healthcare professionals working in the United Kingdom. The course provides essential guidance on probity, honesty, integrity, transparency, and ethical conduct across clinical, academic, and financial practice.
It is particularly relevant for professionals facing a complaint, investigation, or fitness-to-practise process, as well as those seeking to strengthen trustworthiness, regulatory compliance, and ethical professionalism in everyday healthcare practice.
Probity is a core expectation of all UK healthcare regulators and lies at the heart of public trust in healthcare professionals. Concerns about honesty, integrity, or transparency are treated seriously by regulators and are a common basis for complaints and fitness-to-practise proceedings.
Even seemingly minor lapses — such as misleading documentation, undeclared conflicts of interest, or omissions — can have significant professional consequences. This course provides clear, practical guidance on what probity means in real-world practice, how breaches arise, and how professionals can demonstrate insight, reflection, and remediation.
