This report, from the Steering Group on Remediation, also looks at how remediation for NHS doctors no longer in training can be improved.

In relation to healthcare professionals, remediation:

  • is the process agreed with a practitioner to put right aspects of underperformance
  • varies from informal agreements to carry out some reskilling, to more formal supervised programmes of remediation or rehabilitation
