The Health and Care Professions Council regulates over 15 allied health professions. Whichever register you are on, a fitness to practise concern requires a response that is specific to the HCPC Standards, evidenced with targeted learning, and underpinned by genuine reflective insight. These courses are built to help.
Allied health professionals facing HCPC concerns come from different backgrounds and face different types of concern. What they have in common is that those who engage early, demonstrate genuine insight, and build a structured body of evidence consistently achieve better outcomes than those who do not.
Each course maps to the HCPC Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics - the framework HCPC applies across all 15 registered professions in every fitness to practise case. Use the category tabs to find courses relevant to the specific concern raised.
These two courses are written specifically for allied health professionals facing Health and Care Professions Council fitness to practise investigations - addressing the exact professional standards HCPC applies when assessing your case.
When HCPC concerns relate to ethical failures - consent, confidentiality, honesty, or conduct that conflicts with the ethical provisions of the HCPC Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics - this course addresses the specific standards at issue. Applicable across all 15 HCPC-registered professions.

Built around the four domains of Good Medical Practice - the actual framework GMC uses to assess every doctor they investigate. Maps professional standards to real clinical scenarios so you understand what compliance looks like in practice.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsA grounding in professionalism across the healthcare context - useful when a GMC concern straddles conduct, teamwork, and general professional behaviour rather than one specific area.

CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsFor allied health professionals who want to understand the HCPC process and build a remediation response that case examiners and committees find specific, credible, and complete.
Of all the factors GMC evaluates in a remediation response, genuine insight matters most. This module explains what insight means in the regulatory context - not self-criticism, but demonstrable understanding of what went wrong, why it happened, and why it cannot happen again.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsReflection is a skill, not a natural instinct. This module teaches structured reflection - not vague statements about feeling remorseful, but analysis of what happened, what it means, and how your practice has changed as a result.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsRemediation is not just completing courses. It is a documented process of change that GMC can evaluate. This module explains what a robust response looks like - what to include, how to sequence it, and how to present it so examiners can see genuine improvement.

FTP Courses exists because UK healthcare professionals facing regulatory investigations deserve more than generic CPD. They deserve targeted, evidence-based learning that directly addresses the standards their regulator is assessing - and they deserve it to be available immediately, when they need it most.
We built this platform specifically for nurses, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, and allied health professionals who have received a letter from their regulator and need to respond well. Every course is written for that specific purpose - not adapted from routine CPD, but built from the ground up for the regulatory context.
Our content is developed with awareness of how UK regulatory bodies assess insight, remediation, and professional fitness. We understand what case examiners look for, how panels evaluate evidence, and what genuinely good remediation looks like. That understanding shapes every word of every course.
FTP Courses was established with a single goal: provide UK-registered healthcare professionals with CPD that actually helps when they face regulatory concerns.
All courses were independently certified by CPD UK, establishing the accreditation standard that makes our certificates accepted as formal remediation evidence.

Over one thousand UK healthcare professionals have used FTP Courses as part of their regulatory remediation response. Our courses are regularly recommended by solicitors and defence organisations.
A dedicated platform making it faster and easier for professionals to identify the right courses, purchase securely, and access their learning immediately - with certificates issued on completion.
Verified experiences from UK-registered allied health professionals who used FTP Courses as part of their HCPC remediation response. Names and details shared with permission.
An HCPC concern relating to professional boundaries was among the most distressing things I have faced in my career. The Professional Boundaries and Insight modules gave me a framework for genuine reflection rather than defensive justification. My solicitor said my response was exceptionally well structured.
I completed the professionalism and documentation courses within a week of receiving my HCPC notification. The content mapped directly to the Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics that HCPC had cited in my letter. My remediation portfolio addressed each standard directly.
The How to Ensure a Similar Mistake Will Not Be Repeated course was the most important course I completed. It helped me build a credible, specific account of the changes I had made - not vague promises but concrete, verifiable safeguards. That specificity was what my HCPC case examiner was looking for.
Allied health professionals who navigate HCPC investigations most effectively engage early with the specific Standards at issue, build targeted evidence, and document their change clearly. Instant access on purchase.
