Clinical competence and patient safety are inseparable pillars of modern healthcare. Every healthcare professional — whether regulated by the GMC, GDC, NMC, GPhC or HCPC — has a duty to maintain knowledge, skills, and performance at the highest possible standard.
Our CPD-certified course on Ensuring Clinical Competence and Patient Safety supports doctors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, and allied health professionals in meeting these obligations. It helps practitioners identify learning needs, address risks proactively, and demonstrate ongoing commitment to safe, effective, and ethical patient care.
Competence and safety are central to public trust and professional accountability. Failures in these areas are among the most common causes of complaints and fitness-to-practise investigations.
This course is especially valuable for professionals who:
Need to show reflection or remediation following a safety incident.
Are preparing for revalidation or performance review.
