Respectful communication
Respect for medical colleagues and other health professionals and staff
Good patient care is enhanced when there is mutual respect and clear communication between all healthcare professionals involved in the care of the patient.
Good medical practice involves:
- Communicating clearly, effectively, respectfully and promptly with other doctors and healthcare professionals caring for the patient.
- Acknowledging and respecting the contribution of all healthcare professionals involved in the care of the patient.
- Behaving professionally and courteously to colleagues and other practitioners including when using social media.
