Remediation for Fitness to Practise
Course Description
Remediation for Fitness to Practise (New Zealand) is a CPD course designed to help healthcare professionals understand how to take targeted, verifiable steps to address regulatory concerns and restore trust.
New Zealand regulators — including the Medical Council (MCNZ), Nursing Council (NCNZ), Pharmacy Council, Dental Council, and other HPCA authorities — expect practitioners to demonstrate not just reflection and insight, but also evidence-based remediation. Weak remediation — vague promises or irrelevant CPD — fails to convince regulators. Strong remediation — targeted CPD, measurable audits, supervisor oversight, and patient or colleague feedback — shows genuine change and reduces the risk of recurrence.
This course provides practical strategies and case examples to help professionals design, implement, and present effective remediation portfolios that satisfy regulator expectations.
