Healthcare is an incredibly important sector in society and due to its nature, there is an immense amount of law and regulations governing it and setting the standards of how care should be provided.
Those within healthcare must understand the legal issues commonly faced and how to navigate the law best to provide care to their patients ethically that prioritises their well-being. Alongside the physical treatment, healthcare providers must also understand the ethical side of healthcare and how a patient’s personal views and backgrounds may influence the type of care they expect to receive. All care options should be carefully discussed with patients so they can provide their informed consent.
Healthcare providers must also understand what aspects of care they are legally obligated to report, such as potential abuse, notifiable diseases and any births and deaths within the facility.
