Who this is for

Is this you?

We wrote this for three kinds of regulated professional. Most people reading this are at least one of them.

01

You've never checked what's recorded about you on Disclosure UK.

A genuine, public database most professionals have never looked at, and a genuine, practical way to confirm your own record actually matches your understanding.

02

You want to know what genuinely counts as a financial integrity concern.

Billing and claims patterns, research payments, personal conflicts of interest, the real, common categories, grounded in real regulatory cases, not abstract principles.

03

You're building a genuinely well-rounded CPD portfolio.

The financial dimension of probity, covered properly, alongside candour, gifts and hospitality, and honesty more broadly.

Why the amount almost never decides how seriously this is treated.

A relatively small, quickly-corrected fraudulent claim can still result in erasure if a tribunal isn't satisfied the underlying character concern has been genuinely addressed. This course explains exactly why, then gives you the real, practical tools to stay on the right side of it.

The real stakes

Character, not amount

Why a small, corrected claim can still be treated as seriously as a much larger one.

About this course

What it covers, and why

Course description

A CPD course on the financial dimension of probity, billing and claims integrity, research and pharmaceutical payment transparency, and personal financial conduct, grounded in real, documented regulatory cases and current data, not a generic ethics-and-money overview.

Why it's relevant

Financial dishonesty is a foundational, non-negotiable probity concern across every UK health and social care regulator, and one most CPD content covers only superficially. This course is built as a genuine common course, grounded in real regulator statistics and real cases, not adapted from one profession's content.

How it improves your practice

You'll finish able to recognise the real claim and billing patterns regulators treat as deliberate, check and understand your own Disclosure UK entry, distinguish legitimate industry collaboration from an undisclosed financial relationship, and apply a genuine, practical self-check framework to any financial conflict of interest.

What it covers

The course runs across four modules:

  • Why financial integrity is a probity matter, not just compliance
  • Billing, claims and expense fraud, real patterns and real cases
  • Research funding, pharmaceutical payments, and disclosure
  • Personal financial conduct and conflicts of interest

Who it's for

Any regulated health or social care professional, across every UK regulator. Part of the wider CrownEthics library of CPD courses, and specifically the Probity & Honesty area.

Frequently asked

Questions about this course

Is this course only relevant if I'm facing a concern?

+
No. Most people who take this course are building genuine CPD, checking their own Disclosure UK record, or reviewing their practice's billing habits proactively, not responding to an active investigation.

Does this course count as CPD?

+
Yes. It will provide 2 hours of documented CPD learning with a certificate on completion, valid supporting evidence for your CPD record, whichever regulator you're registered with.

Is this course relevant to my specific regulator?

+
Yes. This is a genuine common course, financial honesty as a foundational, non-negotiable expectation applies in substance the same way across GMC, NMC, GDC, HCPC, GPhC, and Social Work England, even though each regulator incorporates it slightly differently into their own code.

Does this apply to NHS and private practice equally?

+
Yes. The billing and claims module covers NHS claims specifically, but the underlying probity principles, honesty in financial dealings, genuine transparency, avoiding rationalised deviation, apply identically in private practice.

I've never received an industry payment, is this course still relevant?

+
Yes. The billing, claims, and personal conflict-of-interest modules apply to essentially every healthcare professional, regardless of whether you've ever had a pharmaceutical industry relationship.

How long does the course take, and is it self-paced?

+
Around 2 hours in total, fully self-paced. Your progress saves automatically. Access does not expire.

Is there an assessment, and what happens if I don't pass?

+
Yes, a 12-question final assessment covering all four modules, requiring 80% to pass and unlock your certificate. Retakes are unlimited, and three shorter knowledge checks along the way don't count towards your certificate.

How quickly can I start after enrolling?

+
Immediately. Access is granted the moment payment completes, and your progress saves automatically if you need to return to it later.
