Ethical Boundaries with Patients and Colleagues
Course Description
Ethical Boundaries with Patients and Colleagues (UAE) is a CPD course designed to help healthcare professionals understand, maintain, and evidence appropriate ethical boundaries in all professional relationships.
Healthcare is built on trust, respect, and integrity. In the United Arab Emirates, regulators such as the Department of Health (DOH), Dubai Health Authority (DHA), and the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) expect all practitioners to uphold clear professional boundaries — avoiding behaviour that could exploit, intimidate, or blur professional roles.
This course supports healthcare professionals to recognise boundary risks, respond appropriately, and demonstrate ethical maturity and insight. It applies regulator expectations to everyday practice and explores how boundaries with both patients and colleagues protect safety, fairness, and professionalism.
