Special Committee for Professional Practice and Ethics

About us

The Committee meets four times a year to discuss guidance on psychiatric professional practice, including issues of policy into practice, confidentiality, probity and conflicts of interest. Members of the Committee are those who have expertise and interest in ethics, confidentiality, quality standards and the relationship between policy and practice. The Committee also has the additional function of overseeing the accreditation decisions made by the College Centre for Quality Improvement (CCQI). The committee has links with the College Centre for Quality Improvement, the UK Clinical Ethics Network, the General Medical Council and the National Clinical Assessment Service.
