Читать книгу Fundamentals of Person-Centred Healthcare Practice - Группа авторов - Страница 106

Our professional codes and standards are underpinned by legal and ethical responsibilities and aligned with values and rights that are fundamental to person‐centred practice. These include considerations such as the primacy of the individual, the individual's right to self‐determination, social justice and equitable access to healthcare (Levinson et al. 2014). Health and social care regulators also have a role in managing risks to the public, to other healthcare professionals and to individual practitioners themselves, so that only those who are fit to practise are permitted to do so. Regulators depend on registrants, employers, the public and law enforcement bodies to report any concerns that may bring into question a registrant's fitness for professional practice. The following activity encourages you to think about issues of risk.
