Insight for Fitness to Practise

Course Description

Insight for Fitness to Practise (UAE) is a CPD course designed to help healthcare professionals understand, develop, and demonstrate insight — the ability to recognise mistakes, understand their impact, and make meaningful changes to prevent recurrence.

In the UAE, regulators such as the Department of Health (DOH), Dubai Health Authority (DHA), and Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) regard insight as one of the most important indicators of fitness to practise. Professionals who demonstrate genuine insight are often viewed as safe to continue in practice, while those who show denial, defensiveness, or lack of awareness raise serious regulatory concern.

This course explores the meaning of insight, its role in regulatory assessments, and practical strategies to strengthen insight through reflection, feedback, supervision, and cultural self-awareness.
