The code of conduct, performance ethics is a document produced by the Health and care professional council. The contents of the document consist of duties in the form of standards which must be met by all registrants of the HCPC (including biomedical scientists). These standards can be located on the HCPC’s website at: http://www.hcpc-uk.org/assets/documents/10004EDFStandardsofconduct,performanceandethics.pdf.
These standards ensure that registrants provide a service with the interest of protecting both the service user and carers through the use of effective communication. They also ensure that the registrants work within their limits of practice while taking responsibility of the risks involved when carrying out procedures. Registrants

Respect confidentiality. This ensures that registrants are careful with information they have obtained from patients as well as disclosing information to other registrants. This applies to my practice since I must book in samples received from the wards. The information on the request form is transferred to a secure Laboratory Information management system known as Onmi-Lab and any unnecessary physical documents containing the patient’s private information is disposed in a secure confidential waste bin.
5. Delegate appropriately. This ensures that registrants delegate work only to members of staff that are competent in the duty.

Be open when things go wrong. This ensures that registrant is capable of taking full responsibility when things go wrong. This means they must be open to their service users and other registrants when a situation arises. They are then expected to deal with the concerns and complaints. This applies to my practice since like all humans; I am also capable of making mistakes. It is much better to reveal a problem instead of hiding it since it can cause devastating effects further down the line of diagnosis such as the patient receiving the wrong treatment.
9. Be honest and trustful. This ensures that registrants take responsibility for their faults and act with a sense of professionalism when dealing with the outcome to tell the truth. This applies to my practice because I have to get a CRB check before attending the placement. All questions must be answered truthfully even if there are further consequences.
10. Keep a record of your work. This ensures that registrants keep a record of all the work the conduct as well as keeping the record itself safe. This applies to my practice since I am producing a portfolio which records all the different duties which I perform as well as keeping a training competency log which details all the procedures that I have taken part
