The Duties of a Doctor

A reading of the Duties of a Doctor, a modern restatement of the Hippocratic Oath, will be led by Professor Moe Oo.

Patients must be able to trust doctors with their lives and health. To justify that trust we must show respect for human life and we promise to:

Make the care of our patients our first concern

Protect and promote the health of patients and the public

Provide a good standard of practice and care

Keep our professional knowledge and skills up to date

Recognise and work within the limits of our competence

Work with colleagues in the ways that best serve patients’ interests

Treat patients as individuals and respect their dignity

Treat patients politely and considerately

Respect patients’ right to confidentiality

Work in partnership with patients

Listen to patients and respond to their concerns and preferences

Give patients the information they want or need in a way they can understand

Respect patients’ right to reach decisions with us about their treatment and care

Support patients in caring for themselves to improve and maintain their health

Be honest and open and act with integrity

Act without delay if we have good reason to believe that we or a colleague may be putting patients at risk

Never discriminate unfairly against patients or colleagues

Never abuse our patients’ trust in us or the public’s trust in the profession

We are personally accountable for our professional practice and must always be prepared to justify our decisions and actions
