Probity and Honesty for Healthcare Professionals

Course Description

Probity and Honesty for Healthcare Professionals (Ireland) is a CPD course designed to help practitioners understand, apply, and demonstrate probity — the core value of integrity, transparency, and fairness in healthcare practice.

The Medical Council, NMBI, PSI, Dental Council, and CORU all emphasise probity as a non-negotiable condition of registration. Dishonesty, even without patient harm, is treated as serious professional misconduct. Healthcare professionals must act honestly in clinical care, documentation, billing, communication, and digital behaviour.

This course explores the meaning of probity, the risks of lapses, and the regulatory consequences of dishonesty. Through Irish case examples and regulator-aligned guidance, participants will learn how to demonstrate honesty, candour, and accountability in everyday practice and in remediation contexts.
