A case for a code of ethics.

P Bayliss

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Ethical dilemmas in business and health have become a familiar topic over recent times. Doubts remain, however, as to whether a code should be produced and the recently issued IHSM consultation paper argues the case for "a statement of primary values" rather than a code of ethics. In a second article on the subject, Paul Bayliss examines the importance of having a code, looks at some of the contextual issues and suggests an approach to producing one.
