About Healthcare Ethics Courses — Senior Practitioners with Real Expertise

We are a London-based team of senior healthcare professionals with postgraduate qualifications in healthcare law and ethics. We build ethics, professionalism and CPD courses that are aligned with the standards of healthcare regulators across six countries — written by clinicians who understand both the consulting room and the regulatory framework around it.

Why we exist

Filling a real gap for healthcare professionals

Healthcare Ethics Courses was founded to address a problem we kept seeing first-hand: practitioners navigating CPD requirements, or facing a complaint, investigation or fitness to practise process, had no dedicated, high-quality and affordable resource genuinely aligned with their own country’s regulatory framework. Most ethics training was generic, imported, or written by eLearning companies rather than clinicians.

Our courses are written and formatted by a specialist team that includes senior healthcare professionals holding postgraduate qualifications in healthcare law and ethics. We have carried out detailed research into the standards and guidance published by healthcare regulatory bodies, and have worked to ensure — to the best of our ability — that every course is aligned with the relevant regulatory standards and guidance for each country we serve.

Each course awards a CPD Certificate of Completion. As we explain clearly throughout the site, it remains the responsibility of each healthcare professional to confirm the acceptability of these certificates and CPD hours with their own regulatory or professional body.

“We wanted to create the resource we wished had existed — rigorous, regulator-aware ethics training written by clinicians, for clinicians, at every stage of their career.”

Dr Iqbal brings together frontline clinical experience as both a surgeon and a general practitioner with formal postgraduate study in medical law and ethics. That combination — practising clinician and trained ethicist — sits at the heart of how our courses are designed: clinically grounded, legally informed, and focused on the real situations practitioners encounter, from everyday professional dilemmas to formal regulatory processes.
