Samenvatting
Vital Notes on Accountability is a concise, accessible guide which provides students and newly qualified staff with an understanding of key issues in professional practice. Nurses are accountable for their own practice and require a thorough understanding of their core responsibilities which underpin everyday practice in the health service today.
This introductory text in the Vital Notes for Nurses series sets out a framework for accountability which consists of four pillars – legal, ethical, employment and professional accountability – against which clinical issues can be considered.
∗ Presents legal, ethical, employment and professional issues in an accessible way
∗ Explores accountability, professional regulation, sources of funding and treatment in the health service
∗ Examines complaints, human rights, negligence, consent, and confidentiality
∗ Explores further applications in accountability
∗ Each chapter includes learning objectives, scenarios and case studies
