Financial Integrity for Healthcare Professionals

Course Description

Financial integrity is a fundamental professional obligation for healthcare professionals practising in Ireland. It underpins public trust, patient safety, and confidence in healthcare systems. Concerns relating to billing, claims, financial relationships, conflicts of interest, and probity are among the most common triggers for complaints, employer action, and regulatory investigations.

This course provides a practical, regulator-aligned understanding of financial integrity in Irish healthcare practice. It focuses on everyday financial decisions, ethical boundaries, conflicts of interest, billing and claiming practices, honesty in financial dealings, and how financial misconduct is assessed during complaints and fitness-to-practise processes.

Designed for all healthcare professionals in Ireland, this course is particularly relevant for those working in mixed public–private systems, private practice, prescribing roles, leadership positions, or those facing financial or probity-related concerns. The course emphasises insight, reflection, and safe professional practice rather than legal technicalities.
