Good professional practice is based on a shared understanding between the profession and public of the principles and values that underpin good care. These principles and values use the three pillars of professionalism as a framework.
Partnership
Good care depends on doctors working together with patients and colleagues toward shared aims and with mutual respect.
Practice
This describes the behaviour and values that support good care. It relies on putting the interests and well-being of patients first.
Performance
This describes the behaviours and processes that provide the foundation for good care.
The Pillars of Professionalism of the Medical Council are detailed in the Guide to Professional Conduct and Ethics for Registered Medical Practitioners.
