- Being competent .You must be competent in all aspects of your work including, where applicable, formal leadership or management roles, research and teaching.
- You must recognise and work within the limits of your competence.
- You must keep up to date with guidelines and developments that affect your work.
- You must follow the law, GMC guidance on professional standards, and other regulations relevant to your work.
- You must have the necessary knowledge of the English language to provide a good standard of practice and care in the UK.
- You must provide a good standard of practice and care. If you assess, diagnose, or treat patients, you must work in partnership with patients to assess their needs and priorities. The investigation or treatment you propose, provide or arrange must be based on this assessment, and on your clinical judgement about the likely effectiveness of the treatment options.
- You must provide safe and effective clinical care whether face to face, or through remote consultations via telephone, video link, or other online services. If you can’t provide safe care through the mode of consultation you’re using, you should offer an alternative if available, or signpost to other services.
- Continuity of care is important for all patients, but especially those who may struggle to navigate their healthcare journey or advocate for themselves.
- Continuity is particularly important when care is shared between teams, between different members of the same team, or when patients are transferred between care providers.
- You must promptly share all relevant information about patients (including any reasonable adjustments and communication support preferences) with others involved in their care, within and across teams, as required.
- You must share information with patients about: i. the progress of their care ii. who is responsible for which aspect of their care iii. the name of the lead clinician or team with overall responsibility for their care.
- You must be confident that information necessary for ongoing care has been shared: i. before you go off duty ii. before you delegate care, or iii. before you refer the patient to another health or social care provider.
- You must check, where practical, that a named clinician or team has taken over responsibility when your role in a patient’s care has ended. Delegating safely and appropriately
- You must be confident that any person you delegate to has the necessary knowledge, skills and training to carry out the task you’re delegating. You must give them clear instructions and encourage them to ask questions and seek support or supervision if they need it.
