Professional Ethics
(Bioethics)
We strive to always adhere to the universal seven
mid-level principles applied to the medical profession (non-maleficence, beneficence, health
maximization, efficiency, respect for autonomy, justice, and proportionality)
Derived from the ancient maxim primum non nocere, which, translated from Latin, means first, do no harm. The principle of nonmaleficence directs physicians to "do no harm" The principle of nonmaleficence requires that every medical action be weighed against all benefits, risks, and consequences, occasionally deeming no treatment to be the best treatment.
In medical ethics, beneficence is understood as a principle requiring that physicians provide, to the best of their ability, positive benefits such as good health and prevent and remove harmful conditions from patients.
A healthcare resource-utilization philosophy, which weighs the economic value of various preventive measures and therapeutic interventions, favouring those that provide the greatest efficacy.
Under this approach, the most effective therapy for most people is preferred.
Have embraced responsible use of resources as a core principle of our profession. We strive to obtain the greatest health benefit from
using the available resources, aiming to achieve a given health benefit in a way that minimizes costs/resource use.
We always ensure that the patient is actively involved in their diagnosisand treatment - and not just deferring to their Doctor.
We strive to make impartial medical decisions demonstrating this, whether it relates to limited resources or new treatments regardless of economic status, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc
We ensure that in all cases we apply the principle of proportionality i.e. we ensure each case is acceptably balanced between the risk for harm and the likelihood of benefit.
