MicroCPD Summary


This MicroCPD equips healthcare professionals (HCPs) with essential knowledge and practical strategies to recognise, manage, and maintain professional boundaries in clinical practice. Through real-world scenarios and multidisciplinary insights, participants will explore the complexities of emotional, physical, and digital boundaries, understand the risks of both sexual and non-sexual boundary transgressions, and examine the impact of blurred roles on patient safety, clinician wellbeing, and legal accountability.

The MicroCPD also addresses how to handle boundary dilemmas in challenging contexts such as rural practice, telehealth, and emotionally charged specialities. By enhancing ethical awareness and applying boundary-respecting practices, HCPs can strengthen therapeutic relationships while upholding professional integrity.
