As a junior member of a medical team your ethical responsibilities include those of qualified doctors as described and published by the New Zealand Medical Council (Cole’s Medical Practice in New Zealand. 3rd edition (2001) edited by Ian St. George). Like all doctors IMG House Officers must: Identify themselves to their patients and explain their place in the team. Explain a proposed examination or procedure. Respect a patient's refusal to be examined or to submit to a particular procedure or to have you observing during an examination or procedure. If you plan to approach a patient from another team, you should first speak with the clinicians of that team, as well as the senior nurse on duty and the nurse looking after the patient. If this is after hours, or on the weekend, you should check with check with the charge nurse during the week. When any difficulties arise in obtaining appropriate consent, you must consult more senior members of the clinical team to whom you are responsible. Depending on the circumstances this may be the Senior House Officer, Registrar or Consultant concerned. If you are concerned in any way about ethical aspects of your clinical work, you should consult more senior members of your clinical team.
