# Healthcare Ethics New Zealand > Remediation courses for New Zealand health practitioners facing a Council or Board notification or complaint, a competence review, a Professional Conduct Committee or a Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal matter. 44 online courses of 2 CPD hours each (NZ$200), written to each responsible authority’s own code and standards under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003; four live face-to-face courses via Zoom; a Bulk Buy Offer of any five online courses for NZ$850 or any ten for NZ$1,400. Certificates are issued by Healthcare Ethics Courses, the parent body. Written and reviewed by Dr Shehzad Iqbal (MBBS, MRCS, MRCGP, Postgraduate Certificate in Healthcare Law and Ethics); live courses facilitated by Dr Iqbal and Dr Mo Mirza. Healthcare Ethics New Zealand is an independent provider of remediation courses for regulatory processes. It is not affiliated with, accredited by, or endorsed by any responsible authority under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 or by the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal; no New Zealand Council or Board accredits courses from any provider, and no course determines the outcome of a notification, competence review, Professional Conduct Committee or Tribunal matter. Each certificate records the course, the CPD hours and the date of completion; practitioners check with their own recertification programme how the hours are recorded. The courses are not legal advice: a practitioner should speak to their indemnity insurer, union or lawyer before putting anything in writing to a regulator or an employer.
