Fitness to practice
Coru is now able to process complaints against registered Health & Social Care Professionals (HSCP) in respect of events that occurred on or after the 31st Dec 2014
Fitness to Practice is concerned with those issues that affect ability to practice in their profession, not just in their current job.
This includes professional misconduct and poor professional performance
It does not replace the existing complaint processes to employers.
The Code of Professional & Ethics, for each profession, sets out the standards of conduct, performance and ethics, which apply to all registered Health & Social Care Professionals. It is against these Standards that an individual will be measured in any Fitness to Practice complaint.
