New Advice to the Professions focuses on how to build and maintain professional relationships.
Before providing patient care, it is essential that regulated members establish effective professional relationships with patients. These relationships are the foundation of person-centred care, and when properly developed and maintained enable effective communication, collaboration, and transparency.
ACP has created a new Advice to the Professions that outlines what you need to know about professional relationships, including
- how they support person-centred care,
- who is permitted to form them,
- how clear communication helps to build them,
- what barriers can prevent or damage them, and
- what special considerations apply to them in virtual care environments.
