Good medical practice

A doctor's first concern is to take care of their patient, and to do so with respect, honesty and professionalism.


Our "Good Medical Practice" publication sets out the principles and values that define good medical practice, and provides guidance to doctors on the standards we expect of them in all aspects of their professional behaviour.

See Our Standards for more information on the standards we expect of doctors.
