Managing professional boundaries

Maintaining appropriate professional boundaries and ensuring that your own interests do not conflict with those of patients are key to good medical practice.

Boundary breaches can relate to your own behaviour such as prescribing for yourself or your social media interactions. They can also relate to your interactions with patients which intentionally or unintentionally move outside of expected behaviour. The Managing Professional Boundaries elearning module aims to help you build on your knowledge for managing boundaries with your patients in keeping with the professional expectations in the Good medical practice: a code of conduct for doctors in Australia.
