It covers a core curriculum for medical students, doctors in training and international medical graduates preparing for the Australian Medical Council examinations. It will also be useful for busy doctors looking for answers to issues that arise in practice, and for approaches that meet professional standards. The book’s central premise is that effective and compassionate practice depends not only upon sound medical knowledge and clinical competence, but also upon good communication skills, an empathetic attitude and respect for all patients, truthfulness, self-reflection and an awareness of the responsibilities arising under the law. Good Medical Practice encapsulates these attributes and includes practice management, inter-professional relationships, sexual misconduct, complaints processes, the Australian health care system and doctors’ health within its broad and comprehensive purview. Complex perennial topics such as the allocation of resources, abortion and mental illness are also thoroughly explored. Written by specialist practitioners representing both the medical and legal professions, each with vast teaching experience, this is a unique, timely and accessible text that reinforces and redefines a contemporary focus on professionalism in medical practice.
