Learn how to respect the dignity and legal rights of patients to provide optimal healthcare in this free online course. Healthcare professionals must abide by certain legal principles governing patient care and their relationships with the public. Doctors require more than a firm grasp on medicine and this course discusses concepts like equality, diversity and inclusion (DEI). We examine the UK legislation designed to protect the rights and wellbeing of patients. We also go through the Caldicott principles governing privacy and risk management in care facilities.
