PART III

CONCLUSION

It must be emphasised that the categories of misconduct described in this booklet cannot be regarded as exhaustive, since from time to time with changing circumstances, the Council's attention may be drawn to new forms of professional misconduct. Any abuse by a medical practitioner of any of the privileges and opportunities afforded to him, or any dereliction of professional duties or breach of medical ethics, may give rise to a charge of professional misconduct.

Registered medical practitioners requiring advice on matters pertaining to professional ethics and etiquette may direct their enquiries to the Honorary Secretary of either the Hong Kong Medical Association or the British Medical Association (Hong Kong Branch). Registered medical practitioners are also advised to acquaint themselves with and observe the "Patients' Rights" pronounced by the Hong Kong Medical Association and the Consumer Council.
