THE SPIRIT OF PROFESSIONAL GUIDELINES


Good clinical practice is based on a trust relationship between patients

and healthcare professionals. Being a good healthcare practitioner

requires a life-long commitment to sound professional and ethical

practice and an overriding dedication to the interests and wellbeing of

one’s fellow human beings and society. This makes the practice in the

healthcare profession a moral enterprise. It is in this spirit that the

HPCSA presents the following ethical guidelines to guide and direct the

practice of healthcare practitioners. These guidelines are an integral

part of the standards of professional conduct against which

professional conduct is evaluated.



[Note: The terms “healthcare practitioner”, “practitioner” and

“healthcare professional” in these guidelines refer to persons

registered with the HPCSA].
