FITNESS TO PRACTICE (FTP)
Medical practitioners who wish to practice must possess the ability to perform treatment tasks effectively. Consequently, MPM found it necessary to establish a special committee to determine the capability of a medical practitioner involved in cases of incompetence or mental disorder before being allowed to practice safely or otherwise.
Therefore, MPM has established the following committees to fulfill this function.
a) Fitness to Practice Committee (FTP)
b) Medical Review Panel Committee (MRP)
MPM is granted the authority to appoint the Fitness to Practice (FTP) Committee under section 19(1) of the Medical Act 1971 for the purpose of assessing the capability of medical practitioners who have physical health issues or low competency levels to perform their duties as medical practitioners.
This committee is responsible for assessing and recommending to the Council whether a practitioner is fit to continue practicing or not. This committee can also recommend to the Council to impose restrictions on the practice of the registered medical practitioner involved. Additionally, the Committee can also refer a medical practitioner to the Medical Review Panel (MRP) if necessary.
The Medical Review Panel (MRP) has been retained by the Council as an ad hoc committee under the FTP Committee to evaluate and manage cases related to mental health issues among Registered Medical Practitioners in Malaysia.
