Professional Ethics for Healthcare Professionals (New Zealand) is a CPD course designed to help practitioners understand, apply, and evidence ethical and professional standards in daily practice.

In New Zealand, regulators such as the MCNZ, NCNZ, Pharmacy Council, Dental Council, and HPCA authorities highlight that professionalism is inseparable from ethics. Professional ethics is not only about following rules but about applying honesty, accountability, fairness, and respect consistently across patient care and workplace relationships.

This course explores the principles of professional ethics, regulator expectations under the HPCA Act (2003), and practical strategies for embedding ethical decision-making into professional identity. It equips practitioners to avoid ethical lapses, remediate concerns, and demonstrate trustworthiness in fitness-to-practise (FtP) processes.
