Przewinienie zawodowe farmaceuty. Uwagi w kontekście zawodu farmaceuty i statusu samorządu zawodowego

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to discuss professional misconduct on the basis of doctrine and jurisdiction. Furthermore, such an approach to the subject draws special attention to the imprecise scope of this term by reference to a pharmacist as a free profession and a profession of public trust, as well as obligatory membership of professional self-government in the context of rights and duties. Professional responsibility of a pharmacist is indispensably connected with obligatory membership of professional self-government. The professional self-government is assigned two duties: the first one pertains to supervision which should encompass evaluation of the way the profession is practised, as well as ethical attitudes. The other duty refers to being guided by the public interest which must be protected as a priority, in connection with obligatory membership of professional self-government. The specific features of conduct with respect to professional responsibility of pharmacists demand compliance with high standards which are indispensably connected with membership of a professional association.
