Ensuring No Repeat of Misconduct or Mistake in Future Practice

Course Description

Ensuring No Repeat of Misconduct or Mistake in Future Practice (Ireland) is a CPD course designed for healthcare professionals — especially those facing complaints, remediation requirements, or fitness-to-practise processes with their regulators.

Irish regulators — Medical Council, NMBI, PSI, Dental Council, and CORU — look beyond the original lapse and focus on whether a professional has taken verifiable steps to prevent recurrence.

This course explores how to demonstrate accountability, reflection, and change. Participants will learn how to identify risk factors, apply ethical frameworks, implement practical safeguards, and compile remediation portfolios that reassure regulators and patients that lapses will not be repeated.
