About this course
This course shows UAE healthcare professionals how to design, deliver and evidence a remediation plan after a concern has been raised about their practice. It works through the UAE framework in which remedial measures actually arise: training, supervision of up to one year and reassessment under Dubai's Executive Council Resolution No. 49 of 2024; competence re-evaluation and restricted practice under Cabinet Resolution No. 67 of 2020; reissue conditions under Cabinet Resolution No. 176 of 2025; the Medical Liability Committee process under Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016; and the PQR rules on returning after a gap in practice. You will learn to define a concern precisely, find its root cause, write testable objectives, choose activities that match causes, and build a portfolio of evidence that a reviewer can trust.
It is designed for doctors, dentists, nurses, midwives, pharmacists and allied health professionals licensed by MOHAP, DHA, DOH, SHA or within Dubai Healthcare City who are facing a complaint, a Medical Liability Committee report, a disciplinary decision, a suspension, a licence reissue or a return after time away, as well as for those who want to address a gap they have recognised themselves. Clinical leads, medical and nursing directors and supervisors who oversee remediation will also find the planning tools, supervision guidance and evidence standards useful.
In the UAE, remediation is not a single process with a fixed format. It is assembled from measures written into federal and emirate law and from each licensing authority's own procedures, which do not always align, for example on the two-year and three-year gap-in-practice thresholds. Disciplinary history also follows professionals through good standing certificates and primary source verification. A clear, honest and well-evidenced plan is therefore one of the most important things a professional can produce after a concern, both for patient safety and for their own career.

Questions about this course
What should a remediation plan for a healthcare professional include?
A precise need statement linked to the standard that was not met, the root causes, specific and measurable objectives with dates, activities matched to those causes, and how progress will be verified independently. Modules 4 to 6 build each part, ending with an anonymised, indexed evidence portfolio, an honest reflective statement and credible testimonials.
How is remediation different from ordinary CPD?
CPD keeps your knowledge current; remediation targets a specific gap shown by a complaint, committee report or decision, and has to prove that the gap has closed. Module 1 also separates remediation from reflection and from disciplinary penalties, which are imposed by an authority rather than chosen by you.
Which remedial measures can UAE authorities order?
Module 2 covers the measures in Dubai Executive Council Resolution No. 49 of 2024, Art. 19(c), such as training, supervised practice and reassessment, along with Cabinet Resolution No. 67 of 2020, Art. 7.2, Cabinet Resolution No. 176 of 2025, Art. 11 and the DHA licensing manual. It explains how they interact with the medical liability track.
Does the course cover returning to practice after suspension or a long gap?
Module 7 plans a return after suspension, revocation or a gap in practice, and points out where the PQR and individual authority thresholds differ so that you check the rule that applies to you. Module 8 adds a sustaining plan with self-audit, early warning signs and honest disclosure of your history to future employers.
Will my licensing authority accept a plan built on this course?
Only the authority or committee can decide that. The course is independent, is not accredited by any UAE health authority and does not replace training or supervision that has been ordered unless that body accepts it. Share your plan with your medical liability insurer or a lawyer before you submit it.
