Springwood Doctors Abide by AMA Code of Ethics

As Stated on the Australian Medical Association Website

​
“The AMA Code of Ethics articulates and promotes a body of ethical principles to guide doctors’ conduct in their relationships with patients, colleagues and society. This Code has grown out of other similar ethical codes stretching back into history including the Hippocratic Oath and those from other cultures.

Because of their particular knowledge and expertise, doctors have a responsibility to patients who entrust themselves to their medical care.  The doctor-patient relationship is a partnership based on mutual respect, collaboration and trust. Within the partnership, both the doctor and the patient have rights as well as responsibilities.

Changes in society, science and the law constantly raise new ethical issues and may challenge existing ethical perspectives. The AMA accepts the responsibility for setting the standards of ethical behaviour expected of doctors s regardless of their professional roles.”
