Probity for doctors

Taking place on Wednesday, 27 November between 9.30am and 12.30pm, this three hour interactive Zoom course addresses issues surrounding probity and ethics in everyday working practice

Public trust in the medical profession relies on doctors being honest and transparent in their professional and personal lives.

Doctors need to be aware of the implications if they do not behave honestly and ethically and understand what steps to take to comply with these standards in difficult situations.
 
This course gives delegates the opportunity to explore case examples highlighting common scenarios that could lead to probity issues for doctors.

Topics will include:

  • The meaning of probity and levels of professionalism expected of doctors
  • Patient safety issues arising from a breach of probity
  • Regulatory guidance and implications when probity has been breached
  • Learning from mistakes and reflective practice.

Doctors will also get the opportunity to explore case examples highlighting common scenarios that could lead to probity issues for doctors.

This course is led by MDDUS risk adviser, Kay Louise Grant.

This course has been accredited by the Federation of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK for 3 CPD credits
