Fitness to Practice Panel

A Fitness to Practice Panel is a group of experienced professionals that reviews whether a healthcare or licensed professional is suitable to continue practicing safely and ethically. They assess concerns or complaints about a practitioner’s conduct, competence, or health, ensuring public safety and maintaining professional standards. The panel makes impartial decisions on whether someone should be allowed to keep practicing, face restrictions, or be removed from their profession if deemed unfit. Overall, they help uphold trust and quality within the profession while protecting the interests of patients and the public.
