Probity & Honesty CPD Courses for UK Healthcare Professionals

Unlike Ethics or Professionalism, the core probity standards, honesty, candour, avoiding conflicts of interest, apply in essentially the same substance across every UK regulator. One well-built course genuinely covers this properly for everyone, rather than splitting it into six versions of the same content.

Most people take whichever is genuinely relevant to their situation, not all five. If you're building a broad CPD portfolio, taking several gives real, varied evidence rather than repeating similar content.

Yes. Every course provides a certificate with documented CPD hours, suitable evidence for your appraisal, revalidation, or CPD portfolio.

It depends on the nature of the concern. A dishonesty or record-keeping issue points to Probity & Honesty in Practice or Duty of Candour. A financial matter points to Financial Integrity & Probity. If you're working on demonstrating restored trust specifically, Rebuilding Trust with Patients & Regulators is built directly for that.

Probity means honesty, integrity, and trustworthiness in your professional dealings, not just clinical honesty with patients, but honesty in records, claims, declarations, and financial conduct. Every UK regulator treats it as a foundational standard, separate from clinical competence.

Regulators assess a genuine competence gap and a genuine honesty gap differently. Competence issues are usually remediable through training and supervision. Dishonesty raises a harder question, whether your account of anything can be trusted, which is why even a relatively small, corrected dishonest act can be treated more seriously than a larger clinical mistake.

Duty of Candour is specifically about being open after something has gone wrong in care, disclosure and apology. Probity & Honesty in Practice covers the wider range of honesty concerns, CVs, declarations, records, and everyday professional truthfulness. Many real situations touch both.

Yes, and most people do. These courses work equally well as proactive CPD, building a genuine, evidenced understanding of probity before you're ever in a situation where you need to prove it.

Around 9 hours in total, worth 9 CPD hours, across all five courses combined. Each is fully self-paced and stands on its own, so most people complete whichever is genuinely relevant rather than all five at once.

No course can guarantee an outcome. What a genuinely relevant course can do is help you build and evidence real insight and remediation, which case examiners are explicitly trained to assess, alongside your legal or defence organisation advice, not instead of it.

Every course provides a certificate naming the specific standard it was built around, genuine, documented evidence you can show your defence organisation, solicitor, or employer. Specific requirements vary by case, so it's worth confirming with whoever has requested the CPD.
