The four principles, a seven-step decision method, families and faith, end-of-life limits, organ donation, AI and dual loyalties, for every UAE profession.
Licensing integrity, CPD and good standing, respect at the point of care, civility, candour, digital conduct and conflicts of interest for every UAE profession.
Both UAE tracks, each authority's process and deadlines, licence status, written responses and hearings, insight, remediation evidence and returning to practice.
Honesty in licensing and CPD claims, records and late entries, sick leave certificates and reports, conflicts of interest, referral commissions, research and advertising.
Romantic and sexual boundaries, third-person presence, gifts and money, dual relationships, social media and messaging, culture, colleagues and early warning signs.
Honest claiming in the UAE insurance system: coding, medical necessity, pre-approvals, co-payments, pricing, kickbacks, facility pressure and putting claims errors right.
Health advertising and online conduct in the UAE: when a post is an ad, approval routes, the Advertiser Permit, banned claims, before-and-after images, consent, reviews and remediation.
Dignity and fairness in UAE care: non-discrimination duties, the Patient Charter, privacy and modesty, religion and culture, interpreters, People of Determination, colleagues and remediation.
How UAE medical liability works for clinicians: duties and prohibited acts, error and gross error, committees, the 30-day grievance, suspension, insurance, discipline and responding well.
Written consent, honest treatment planning, cosmetic care, estimates and insurance, records and radiographs, infection control and advertising for UAE dentists.
Roles and delegation, communication in multilingual teams, briefings and debriefs, ISBAR handover, speaking up, conflict and concerns about colleagues, with UAE case studies.
Valid consent, written consent rules, capacity, substitute consent in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, children, emergencies, refusal, special consents and opposite-gender examinations.
When to share, when to refuse and how to respond to a breach: UAE health data law, disclosure gateways, health information exchanges, messaging apps and third-party requests.
What to say, and when, after a patient is harmed: candour duties, sentinel event rules, apology wording, interpreters, families, records and follow-up in UAE practice.
Practical communication for UAE clinicians: consultations, teach-back, interpreters, family involvement, bad news, de-escalation, handover and responding when a patient is unhappy.
Lawful, safe handling of narcotic, psychotropic and semi-controlled medicines in the UAE: classification, who may prescribe, the unified platform, pharmacy checks, diversion and remediation.
Protecting children, older people and adults at risk in UAE healthcare: federal reporting duties, emirate routes, recognising abuse, disclosures, reports, records and remediation.
Five reflective models, critical rather than descriptive writing, CPD portfolio entries and reflective statements that stay factual, confidential and consistent with the record.
Licensed scope and privileges, supervision and delegation, CPD and gaps in practice, human factors, the deteriorating patient and sepsis, infection control and incident reporting in UAE facilities.
Records that hold up when someone else reads them: what to write, consent and refusal, labelled late entries, template pitfalls, reports, sick notes, retention and keeping the file intact.
Complaint routes in each emirate, the committee process, deadlines, the first 72 hours, building a chronology and writing an honest, structured response.
Defining the concern, finding its cause, testable objectives, supervision and audit, building an evidence portfolio and returning after suspension, revocation or a gap.
A five-step method for understanding your part in a concern and showing that understanding in statements, interviews and reassessments before UAE committees and licensing authorities.
Repairing trust in the right order after a complaint or sanction: patients and families, colleagues, your employer, your licensing authority and your own confidence.
Classify the failure, trace root causes, rank corrective actions by strength, measure whether they hold and build a personal plan that lowers the risk of repetition.
Communication, expectations in elective care, costs and insurance, results and referrals, discharge, telehealth, records and early resolution, turned into daily habits.
The set for anyone answering a complaint, a licensing investigation or a Medical Liability Committee, or returning after suspension or supervised practice. The 4-hour core course covers both UAE tracks in one place; the others go deeper on a single step, from writing the first response to showing that the risk of repetition has fallen.

Consent, privacy and the medical record decide many cases, because a committee works from the original file and from what the patient was told. These courses deal with valid consent and chaperones, health data, open disclosure after harm, everyday communication and documentation that will stand up years later.

Price depends on study time alone, not on topic or profession, so a specialist course costs the same as a general one of the same length.
| Length | Courses | Price each | Final assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 hours | 20 | AED 239 | 20 questions; pass with 16 |
| 3 hours | 10, among them the five profession ethics courses | AED 289 | 20 questions; pass with 16 |
| 4 hours | 1, the core investigation course | AED 329 | 30 questions; pass with 24 |
One saving is applied to the whole basket, depending on how many UAE courses it holds:
| Courses in the cart | Saving | Worked example |
|---|---|---|
| 1 or 2 | None | Two 2-hour courses: AED 478 |
| 3 or 4 | AED 120 | Three 2-hour courses: AED 717, then AED 597 |
| 5 to 9 | AED 180 | Five 2-hour courses: AED 1,195, then AED 1,015 |
| 10 or more | AED 300 | Ten 2-hour courses: AED 2,390, then AED 2,090 |
Near a threshold it pays to plan the set before checkout. Going from four courses to five, for example, adds AED 239 to the basket but raises the saving by AED 60. Whatever the length, every course comes with 12 months' access, a certificate of completion and its own reflective account.
Start with the core investigation course or the complaint response course, then add a topic course on the issue in the complaint, for example consent, records or prescribing. Insight and reflective practice help when a written account is expected. Later on, remediation planning, preventing recurrence and rebuilding trust help you prove the change has lasted. The remediation courses page matches concerns to courses, and the complaints and licensing guide explains each authority's process.
Begin with the ethics course for your profession and the professionalism course, then fill gaps with topic courses. Your licensing authority decides how any learning counts towards your CPD or a requirement it has set, so check its rules on units and activity types first.
Where an authority has ordered training, it defines what is required. Ask it, or your lawyer, whether a course fits the order before you enrol.
A good set is short, specific and taken in a sensible order. Three building blocks cover almost every situation.
| Situation | Courses | Total after the cart saving |
|---|---|---|
| A dentist answering a consent complaint | Core investigation course; Informed Consent and Chaperones; Insight | AED 687 (AED 807 less AED 120) |
| A nurse whose late record entry is being questioned | Complaint response; Clinical Documentation and Record Keeping; Probity; Reflective Practice | AED 886 (AED 1,006 less AED 120) |
| A pharmacist planning a renewal cycle | Pharmacist ethics; Professionalism in Practice; Safe Prescribing and Controlled Medicines; Confidentiality and Health Data; Insurance Billing and Financial Integrity | AED 1,065 (AED 1,245 less AED 180) |
These sets are illustrations, not prescriptions: choose to fit the concern in your own notice. Where an authority has ordered training, the order comes first and your own choices sit alongside it.
Training a team? The cart lowers the total as the basket grows, and larger groups can ask through the contact page for group enrolment.
If a concern has been raised, start with the course that matches it, or with the 4-hour core investigation course if the whole process is new to you. If you are planning ahead, most people get good value from their profession's ethics course or from Clinical Documentation and Record Keeping, because consent, communication and records come up in many complaints.
The price follows the study time: AED 239 for a 2-hour course, AED 289 for a 3-hour course and AED 329 for the 4-hour core course. Every course has the same format, with knowledge checks, a 20-question final assessment at 80%, a certificate of completion and a reflective account.
Your licensing authority decides how any learning counts towards your CPD or a requirement it has set. The DHA, DOH, MOHAP, SHA and DHCR each set their own units, totals and rules on what activity qualifies, so confirm with yours before you rely on a course for renewal.
Any course is open to you, though the five profession ethics courses and the physician professionalism course are written around one profession's law and duties. The other 25 courses are shared and point to each profession's rules inside the lessons.
Usually one to three that fit the concern, plus the core course if the process is unfamiliar. A focused set with a reflective account and evidence of changed practice tends to say more than many unrelated certificates.
Yes, all prices are in dirhams. The bigger the basket, the bigger the saving: three courses or more take AED 120 off, five or more AED 180 and ten or more AED 300, on UAE courses bought together.
You have 12 months' access to each course. Study at your own pace on any device and return to the lessons after you pass if you want to review them.
