A.M.A: Australian Medical Association The A.M.A. code of ethics articulates and promotes a body of ethical principles to guide doctors’ conduct in their relationships with patients, colleagues and society. Because of their special knowledge and expertise, doctors have a responsibility to improve and maintain the health of their patients who, either in a vulnerable state of illness or for the maintenance of their health, entrust themselves to medical care. Each state and territory has laws regulating the prescription of medicine that determine: who can prescribe, what medicines, in what circumstances, in what manner, for what purpose, as well as additional conditions. As laws vary in each jurisdiction, doctors must be careful they understand and comply with the laws in force where they practice. Doctors are trained to think independently, to make decisions, and to discharge their duty of care in the best interests of the patient. The code of conduct for the A.M.A holds many expectations of ethical behaviours of doctors. Some of which include the doctor is to maintain the confidentiality of the patient, treat your patient with compassion and respect, when a personal moral judgement or religious belief prevents the doctor from recommending some form of therapy, they must inform their patient so they can seek help elsewhere, and they must keep themselves up to date on relevant medical knowledge, codes of practice and legal responsibilities.
