Ethics and Ethical Standards for Doctors is a comprehensive CPD course designed for all doctors, at every stage of their career, who wish to strengthen ethical reasoning, moral judgement, and defensible clinical decision-making. The course explores core bioethical principles, consent and capacity, confidentiality dilemmas, end-of-life care, justice and resource allocation, conflicts of interest, and ethical boundaries with patients and colleagues.

This programme is particularly valuable for doctors undertaking continuing professional development (CPD), as well as those facing a fitness to practise investigation, inquiry, or regulatory scrutiny by the General Medical Council. It supports structured ethical reflection, development of insight, and demonstration of remediation where concerns relate to judgement, honesty, boundaries, or patient welfare.

Through clinically grounded analysis and reflective learning, participants develop deeper ethical maturity, stronger documentation practices, and enhanced confidence in managing complex moral dilemmas in modern medical practice.
