Ethics: HPCSA Guidelines on overservicing, perverse incentives & related matters

This CPD activity offers a clear, practical guide to the HPCSA’s ethical principles on overservicing, incentives, referrals, and financial interests. Using everyday clinical scenarios, it helps health care practitioners apply the rules with confidence and keep patient care at the centre of their decision-making.

The activity supports transparent, evidence-based practice, appropriate billing, and professional independence, while providing reassurance that your current processes align with the latest guidance. It is ideal for practitioners who want to strengthen ethical practice, make consistent decisions in complex situations, and demonstrate their ongoing commitment to high-quality, patient-centred care.
