Mutual Responsibilities of Patient and Doctor

Successful medical care requires ongoing collaboration between patients and doctors. This partnership requires both individuals to take an active role in the process.

Autonomous, competent patients control the decisions that direct their healthcare. With that exercise of self-governance and choice comes responsibilities. Patients contribute to the collaborative effort when they:

• Are truthful and forthcoming with their physicians and strive to express their concerns clearly. Doctors likewise should encourage patients to raise questions or concerns.
• Provide as complete a medical history as they can, including providing information about past illnesses, medications, hospitalisations, family history of illness, and other matters relating to present health.
• Cooperate with agreed-on recommendations as it is essential to individual safety. Patients should disclose whether they will or will not follow the agreed-on recommendations and indicate when or if they would like to reconsider the plan.
• Recognise that a healthy lifestyle can often prevent or mitigate illness and take responsibility to follow preventive measures and adopt health-enhancing behaviours.
• Be aware of and refrain from behaviour that unreasonably places the health of others at risk. They should ask about what they can do to prevent transmission of infectious disease.
• Refrain from being disruptive in the clinical setting and be considerate to and respect the rights of other patients and staff.
• Not knowingly initiate or participate in medical fraud.
• Report and provide feedback of any inappropriate behaviour by doctors or other healthcare medical/non-medical staff to the appropriate bodies.
