Probity and Honesty for Healthcare Professionals

Course Description

Probity and Honesty for Healthcare Professionals (UAE) is a CPD course designed to help healthcare practitioners understand, apply, and evidence ethical honesty and integrity in professional practice.

In the UAE, regulators such as the Department of Health (DOH), Dubai Health Authority (DHA), and the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) emphasise that probity — meaning moral integrity, truthfulness, and transparency — is a central requirement for licensing, registration, and revalidation.

This course is especially relevant for professionals facing remediation, investigation, or fitness-to-practise concerns involving documentation, billing, record-keeping, or professional conduct. It explains regulator expectations, provides practical strategies for restoring trust, and supports professionals to embed honesty into daily clinical and administrative decision-making.
