Ethics sits at the heart of every pharmacist’s professional responsibility. The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) expects all pharmacy professionals to act with honesty, integrity, and respect for patients, colleagues, and the public.
Every dispensing decision, patient interaction, and professional judgment carries an ethical dimension. A CPD Ethics course helps pharmacists reflect on those responsibilities, strengthen decision-making, and uphold public confidence in the profession.
While all pharmacists benefit from ethics training, it becomes particularly important if you are:
Facing a GPhC investigation or fitness to practise process.
Required to complete remediation or reflective CPD.
Returning to work after a period of restriction or absence.
Seeking to strengthen your ethical awareness for revalidation.
Completing an Ethics CPD course shows that you are proactive, reflective, and committed to high standards — qualities the GPhC values strongly.
A structured course explores:
Core ethical principles — autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice.
Honesty, confidentiality, and informed consent in pharmacy practice.
Managing conflicts of interest and commercial pressures.
Professional boundaries with patients and colleagues.
Ethical decision-making in dispensing, prescribing, and communication.
Reflection and insight for remediation and revalidation.
These topics connect directly to the GPhC Standards for Pharmacy Professionals and real-life ethical dilemmas encountered in practice.
