The doctor-patient relationship is fraught with risk. Patients may
be at risk from a doctor who misuses their position of authority,
or is unclear where the appropriate boundaries lie. Doctors risk
disciplinary or criminal proceedings when this happens. This book
aims to address these risks, to assist clinicians in their daily
relationships with patients, and to improve patient safety. The
authors examine the ethical principles and how these may be taught;
prevalence of abuse; regulation and sanctions; management and
governance; remediation; and the roles of the different
organisations that may be involved, such as the General Medical
Council and medical protection societies. This is a practical guide
to help clinicians avoid boundary violations and improve patient
safety.
