Remediation for Fitness to Practise

Course Description

Remediation for Fitness to Practise (Ireland) is a CPD course designed to help healthcare professionals understand what remediation means, how to implement it effectively, and how to present evidence of remediation to Irish regulators — including the Medical Council, NMBI, PSI, Dental Council, and CORU.

Remediation goes beyond promises or apologies. It is about taking concrete, verifiable steps to correct behaviour, address risks, and reassure regulators that future practice will be safe. Strong remediation often combines reflective writing, CPD, audits, supervision, and feedback to show lasting professional growth. Weak remediation — vague statements or irrelevant CPD — increases regulator concern and may result in suspension or erasure.

This course explores the principles of remediation, regulator expectations, and practical strategies for building remediation portfolios that demonstrate genuine learning and accountability.
