Health care practice occurs within increasingly diverse and complex environments with the law and professional processes seeking to ensure the quality of such practice. These legal and professional processes are based on a belief in the inherent dignity and worth of every person and the desire for the common good, which is a particular focus of this unit. Furthermore, the topics explored in this unit are underpinned by a concern for all people, especially those considered less fortunate and those vulnerable to exploitation. For health care practitioners, an increased awareness and knowledge of the legal and professional systems provides protection for those in their care, and promotes a spirit of justice while facilitating expansion of the health care practitioner’s role. |
