Editorial standards

• Official sources only. Every legal or regulatory fact in a course or guide comes from an official source, and anything we cannot confirm is left out or described in general terms.
• Written for one country at a time. Each country edition is researched and written separately, for its own regulators, law and spelling. We do not produce editions by swapping names.
• Checked before publication. Each course goes through separate review stages for legal and regulatory accuracy, teaching quality and fair assessment.
• Kept current. When a code, standard or law changes, we review the affected courses and pages and update them.
• Corrected openly. Reported errors in legal or regulatory facts are reviewed first and fixed once the official source confirms the change.
• Honest about what we are. We never claim accreditation, approval or endorsement, and we never promise an outcome.

1. A country research brief. Before any course is written, we build a brief for that country from primary sources: the legislation that sets up each regulator, the regulators' codes, standards and guidance, continuing education rules, and official government and privacy guidance.
2. Date-checked facts. Each fact used in a course is checked against the live official source and the date of the check is recorded. The current editions were checked in October 2026.
3. Original writing. We write every lesson, case scenario, reflection prompt and assessment question ourselves. Scenarios are illustrative and do not describe real patients or practitioners.
4. Separate review stages. Each course is reviewed for legal and regulatory accuracy, for teaching quality and for assessment fairness, so that the final assessment tests understanding of the course rather than guesswork.
5. Publication. The course goes live with its learning time, final assessment, reflective account template and certificate of completion. Guides on this site cite their official sources at the foot of the page.

We rely on primary sources, because health regulation is high-stakes information and secondary summaries are often out of date.

• We use: legislation and regulations; the websites, codes, standards, guidelines and published processes of regulators, boards and colleges; official government and privacy regulator guidance; and published court and tribunal decisions where they explain how a rule is applied.
• We do not use as a basis for content: news articles, blogs, forums, social media, or other course providers' material. These are never listed as references.

Where a rule differs by province, state or profession, the course says so and points you to the official source for your own regulator.

Codes and guidance change. We track changes published by the regulators and official bodies each edition is built on. When a change affects a course or guide, we review the affected sections and update them, and the official sources on our guides are re-checked at the same time.

Pages show when they were last updated, and our guides state when their sources were checked. If you notice something that looks out of date before we do, please tell us.

Their names appear on this site only to describe what our courses cover.

Our courses do not replace education, conditions or programmes ordered by a regulator or tribunal unless that body accepts them, and we cannot tell you whether a regulator will accept a course. Nothing on this site is legal advice: if you are facing a regulatory process, speak to your indemnity provider, union, professional association or lawyer.

If you think a fact in a course or on this site is wrong or out of date, use our contact page or email support@fittopractisesg.com with the word "Correction" in the subject. Please tell us:

• the course or page, and the section
• what you believe is wrong
• a link to the official source, if you have one

Reports about legal or regulatory facts are reviewed first. When the official source confirms the change, we correct the course or page. If a report turns out not to need a change, we explain why when we reply.

• That any course is accredited, approved or endorsed by a regulator, board, college or professional body.
• That a course carries CME, CPE or other formal credit from any body. Courses state an estimated learning time; record the time you actually spend.
• That completing a course will lead to any outcome in a complaint, investigation, hearing, order, renewal or audit.
• That our courses are legal advice.
• Reviews, ratings, testimonials or learner numbers that are not real. We do not write, buy or invent them. Where reviews appear, they come only from learners who completed the course.
