Fitness to Practice Investigations

Fitness to practice investigations assess whether a healthcare or regulated professional is properly qualified, competent, and fit to perform their duties safely and ethically. When concerns arise about a practitioner's conduct, skills, or health, this process reviews evidence to determine if they pose a risk to patients or the public. The investigation ensures fair assessment and, if necessary, may lead to disciplinary actions or safeguards to protect public safety. It aims to uphold professional standards while respecting the individual’s rights throughout the process.
