On 27 September, in partnership with CORU; the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland; the Veterinary Council; the Dental Council and the Medical Council of Ireland, we hosted a healthcare regulator fitness to practise (FTP) conference.
The theme was ‘The Case for Reform in Fitness to Practise Matters’ and the gathering follows the successful inaugural event hosted by NMBI and the Medical Council last year.
