Medical Care and Prescribing
In light of recent articles from the Medical Council of New Zealand (May 2021) and previous articles from the British Medical Journal this presentation looks at legality and ethics within one section of the Standards of Practice set down by the MCNZ. Of the various statements published by the MCNZ within the Standard of Medical care and prescribing, I have chosen to look at Good Prescribing practice and the issue of providing care for yourself or those close to you. Comparison is made between other medical jurisdictions around the world. The rationale behind the inadvisability regarding assessment and treatment for self and those close to you is explained. Some medications that are potentially a significant risk and the potential for addiction are examined in more detail.
