National Medical Commission's Guide on Professional Ethics
The National Medical Commission (NMC) has released a booklet titled "Professional Conduct Review - lessons from case archives," aiming to guide Registered Medical Practitioners on ethical conduct. The publication emphasizes the importance of compassion and empathy in the doctor-patient relationship, explored through nine case studies. It identifies the communication gap as the most frequent cause of complaints against medical professionals. The booklet warns that a deficit in trust can lead to legal actions against doctors. This initiative highlights the critical role of effective communication and trust-building in medical ethics, serving as a valuable resource for practitioners to improve patient relations and reduce litigation risks.
