Professional Boundaries Course
Course Description
Professional Boundaries for Healthcare Professionals (UAE) is a CPD course designed to help practitioners understand and maintain safe, respectful, and ethical relationships with patients, colleagues, and others in professional settings.
In the UAE, regulators such as the Department of Health (DOH) in Abu Dhabi, the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), and the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) regard professional boundaries as essential for protecting patients, maintaining trust, and upholding public confidence in healthcare.
This course is especially relevant for practitioners undergoing remediation, reflection, or regulatory review, as well as those seeking to strengthen professionalism and ethical awareness in daily practice. It explores regulator expectations, types of boundary breaches, prevention strategies, and how to demonstrate reflection and remediation if concerns arise.
