All CPD Courses for Healthcare Practitioners in Saudi Arabia

These courses deal with the process itself: how a 937 complaint or MOH inquiry reaches you, what the Sharia Health Panel and the Health Violations Committee look at, and how to show insight and a plan for change. The 4-hour core course is the anchor for anyone whose case has reached a committee; the others can be taken in any order.

• Process courses: the core committee course and the 937 response course explain what happens and how to prepare a statement.
• Evidence courses: insight, reflection and remediation planning help you put your learning into words and dates.
• Looking forward: rebuilding trust, preventing recurrence and avoiding complaints help you return to work with less risk of a repeat.

Each profession has a 3-hour ethics course written around its own duties in Saudi practice, and two shared 2-hour courses cover the SCFHS Code of Ethics and professionalism for every practitioner. Doctors have a separate professionalism course; nurses, dentists, pharmacists and health specialists pair their ethics course with the shared professionalism course.

Most complaints touch at least one of these. The consent course follows the MOH Saudi Guidelines for Informed Consent, including the rules for young people aged 15 to 18 and for emergencies. The confidentiality course sets the duties in Article 21 of the Law beside the Personal Data Protection Law, which treats health data as sensitive. Records, communication with patients and families, and honest disclosure after harm complete the group.

This group covers the conduct rules that carry the heaviest penalties in the Law. Article 10 on self-promotion and Article 12 on commissions can bring fines of up to SAR 50,000. The probity course covers honesty in documents and credentials, including DataFlow verification of qualifications. Boundaries, dignity and respect, insurance claims and NPHIES integrity, social media and the 3-hour medical liability course make up the rest.

Clinical competence and patient safety covers working within your SCFHS classification and privileges and reporting incidents. Safe prescribing covers controlled medicines and adverse drug reaction reporting to the SFDA. Safeguarding and teamwork in multinational health teams round off the group, the second reflecting how many Saudi teams mix nationalities, languages and training backgrounds.

The cart applies a saving as soon as it holds enough courses: SAR 115 off 3 or more, SAR 175 off 5 or more and SAR 290 off 10 or more. The saving is taken off the basket total, so you do not need a code.

After a concern. Start with the process course that fits the stage you are at, add one or two courses on the subject of the concern, and finish with a reflection or planning course. Keep the set small and focused; a committee is more likely to be interested in why you chose a course than in how many you took.

Planning ahead. Start with your profession's core pair, then add the courses closest to the risks in your work: social media if you post about health, prescribing if you handle controlled medicines, consent and communication if you see many families.

Our courses do not carry SCFHS CPD hours, and they do not appear in Mumaris Plus automatically. SCFHS decides how any learning counts towards your registration. You can apply to SCFHS to have learning recognised through the Recognition of CPD Hours service, at SAR 100 per application, and SCFHS decides based on relevance and depth for your field.

The SCFHS CPD hours guide explains the hours required for each category and how renewal works.
