Professional Ethics. Professional ethics enshrined in codes of practice have up to now mainly emerged in the healthcare domain. Here, the historical paradigm has been the doctor-patient/client relationship, that is, on the duty of the doctor towards the presenting patient/client. The same is valid for social workers when providing services to their clients. Principles that have commonly been applied in medical and social care ethics for many years include:  autonomy: the patient has the right to refuse or choose their treatment;  beneficence: the practitioner should act in the best interest of the patient/client;  non-maleficence: do no harm;  justice: fairness and equality in who gets treatment;  dignity: the patient/client and the person treating the patient/client should have their dignity respected; and  truthfulness and honesty: including informed consent. In more recent times, other professions such as community nurses, paramedical professions, e.g. occupational therapists and social care practitioners, also have an important role in assessing needs, making referrals and implementing ICT-based solutions and services for independent living and homecare. Codes of ethics in these fields are thus also of relevance to CareWell.
