Clinic compliance calendar in Dubai

Most compliance problems in clinics are not bad intent but a missed date: a nurse's licence expired last week, the malpractice policy lapsed, BLS certificates ran out. A simple calendar with owners and reminders prevents almost all of it.

CME for professionals

DHA requires licensed professionals to complete continuing medical education or professional development before licence renewal, and the required amount differs by profession: doctors and dentists need more than nurses and allied health. Activities should be DHA-approved or internationally recognised and recorded in Sheryan. Check the current requirement for each title on DHA channels rather than an old circular.
