Probity: Upholding Professional Integrity

Introduction

Probity is central to safe and trustworthy healthcare. Concerns may arise around honesty, documentation, prescribing, financial matters, or transparency with patients, colleagues, or regulators. When healthcare professionals face such concerns, demonstrating insight, accountability, and a clear plan for future conduct is essential.

My Approach

I work with regulated and other professionals to:

• Examine specific behaviours or actions that led to concerns about probity, integrity, honesty, and formal allegations of dishonesty
• Explore underlying causes, including workplace pressures, stress, or systemic challenges
• Understand the impact of dishinest actions on patients, colleagues, and professional reputation
• Develop practical strategies to maintain integrity, transparency, and ethical practice at work and in one’s private life

Practical Outcomes

• Evidence of meaningful reflection and insight
• Practical strategies to prevent recurrence
• Tools for accurate documentation, patient communication, and professional accountability
• A comprehensive report suitable for submission to employers or regulatory bodies

Client-Focused Work

My work is tailored to the individual’s role and workplace context. The aim is to restore credibility, maintain trust in professional relationships, and demonstrate sustained, ethical practice aligned with professional standards. Probity and fiduciary duties are a requirement in all professional arenas and we will explore the requirements and any alleged failures of compliance.
