Fitness to Practise proceedings are governed by the Fitness to Practise Rules which you can find at Annex O of our Code of Conduct

These proceedings are confined to determining whether a barrister's fitness to practise is impaired as a result of their health and, if so, whether any restrictions on practice should be imposed.

We have produced guidance on our Fitness to Practise rules  for the benefit of barristers,  their representatives and members of any Medical or Review Panel established under the Fitness to Practise Rules. 

The guidance is not exhaustive and will be reviewed from time to time in light of experience and any relevant case law.

If you require a hard copy please phone the Professional Conduct Department on 020 7611 1445.
