Basic principles of pharmaceutical professional ethics
The basic principle of pharmaceutical professional ethics is the fundamental guiding principle that must be followed when adjusting the relationship between pharmaceutical personnel and patients, pharmaceutical personnel and society, and pharmaceutical personnel. The basic principles of pharmaceutical professional ethics are summarized as "improving the quality of drugs, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of drugs, implementing socialist humanitarianism and serving people's health wholeheartedly".
(1) Improving the quality of medicines and ensuring their safety and effectiveness is an important prerequisite for safeguarding people's health and the fundamental purpose of the pharmaceutical industry. Production, management and use are all important links to improve drug quality, enhance drug efficacy and ensure people's drug safety. In order to maintain public health, on the one hand, medical workers must strive to develop drug production and increase varieties to meet the public's health needs; On the other hand, it is necessary to improve the quality of drugs and ensure the safety and effectiveness of drug use. Although pharmacists are different from doctors, they must also deal directly with patients. Pharmaceutical work is an important part of medical treatment to heal the wounded and rescue the dying, and it is also an important foundation of medical activities.
(2) Implementing socialist humanitarianism as an ethical principle is of great significance in the field of medical ethics. Socialist medical humanitarianism inherits the essence of traditional medical humanitarianism. Under the new historical conditions, it is manifested in respect and care for patients, prevention and treatment of diseases, and protection of everyone's equal right to use drugs.
(3) Serve the people's health wholeheartedly. The principle of pharmaceutical professional ethics requires pharmaceutical personnel to stand at the historical height of the country and socialist construction and serve the cause of socialist modernization. In order to truly serve people's health wholeheartedly in specific pharmaceutical practice, pharmaceutical personnel must deal with the following three aspects.
1. Correctly handle the relationship between medical staff and customers. The direct customers of pharmaceutical personnel are patients. Generally speaking, pharmacists are in an active position and patients are in a passive position. This requires pharmaceutical staff to always focus on the interests of patients and clients, and ensure the quality of drugs and people's lives and health with a highly responsible spirit.
2. Correctly handle the relationship between individual interests and collective interests. The production, storage, transportation, sale and use of drugs all depend on the collective strength. Therefore, close cooperation between pharmaceutical personnel is particularly important. When dealing with the conflict between individual interests and collective interests, medical staff should focus on the collective interests and the people's life and health interests, and should not harm the people's interests because of individual or small collective interests.
3. Correctly handle the relationship between morality and surgery. Medical workers need to have good moral quality and excellent technical skills to serve the people wholeheartedly in disease prevention, treatment and health. Both are indispensable.
