...Australia. This Code of Professional Conduct for Nurses sets the minimum standards for practice a professional person is expected to uphold both within and outside of professional domains in order to ensure the ‘good standing’ of the nursing profession. These two companion Codes, together with other published practice standards (e.g. competency standards, decisionmaking frameworks, guidelines and position statements), provide a framework for legally and professionally accountable and responsible nursing practice in all clinical, 2 management, education and research domains. The support and assistance of Royal College of Nursing (unified with The College of Nursing on 1 July 2012 to become Australian College of Nursing) and the Australian Nursing Federation in developing this edition of the Code of Professional Conduct for Nurses in Australia is acknowledged. In considering this Code and the Code of Ethics for Nurses in Australia, it should be borne in mind that they are designed for multiple audiences: nurses; nursing students; people requiring or receiving nursing care; other health workers; the community generally; employers of nurses; nursing regulatory authorities; and consumer protection agencies. 4.

...QCF LEVEL 2 DIPLOMA IN CYPWF Unit Title: Understand employment responsibilities and rights in health, social care or children and young people’s settings Unit number: 201 Unit reference: R/602/2954 Produce an employee document/handbook that has information on Employee Rights And Responsibilities. Your document should consist the pointers outlined below. 1 statutory responsibilities and rights of employees and employers Rights at work Your rights at work will depend on:- Your contract of employment cannot take away rights you have by law. So if, for example, you have a contract which states you are only entitled to two weeks' paid holiday per year when, by law, all full-time employees are entitled to 28 days' paid holiday per year, this part of your contract is void and does not apply. The right you have under law (to 28 days' holiday in this case) applies instead. If your contract gives you greater rights than you have under law, for example, your contract gives you six weeks' paid holiday per year, then your contract applies. There are special rules about the employment of children and young people. Statutory rights Statutory rights are legal rights based on laws passed by Parliament. Nearly all workers, regardless of the number of hours per week they work, have certain legal rights. There are some workers who are not entitled to certain statutory rights Sometimes...

...Building an Ethical Organization Part 2 HSM/230 November 17, 2013 Building an Ethical Organization Part 2 Building an Ethical Organization Part 2 HSM/230 University of Phoenix An ethical organization is not only best for the people it serves but also best for the organization. Being able to describe the organization is the way to succeed in helping others understand what it is that the employees are trying to accomplish. A mission statement helps to keep the ideals or the organization in mind, as well as establishing what target population they would help. Creating a values statement, will help the organization to communicate its moral side with potential clients and others. A code of ethics (code) serves as a central guide to support day-to-day decision making at work. It clarifies the cornerstones of your organization-- its mission, values and principles –helping your staff understand how these cornerstones translate into everyday decisions, behaviors and actions. While some may believe codes are designed to limit one’s actions, the best codes are actually structured to liberate and empower people to make more effective decisions with greater confidence. An effective code has many uses, but two critical ones stand out. A code should (1) clarify Gray areas or questions employees have concerning organizational values and expectations and (2) Help build trust and commitment. At best, a code “reflects the covenant that an organization has made to uphold its...

...Essential Health Services Public Health in the 21st Century Argosy University There are many health organizations and interest groups that contribute to Public Health’s core functions which are Policy Development, Assessment and Assurance. One of those many organizations is the National Association of Local Boards of Health. The idea to create a non-profit organization to serve the interest of local boards of health was thought of during a meeting held by the American Public Health Association, in 1991 in Atlanta, GA (2002). This non-profit organization was specifically created to provide a national voice for the concerns of local boards of health and to assist local boards in obtaining the knowledge, skills, and abilities that are necessary to protect and promote public health in the communities they serve (2002). Local boards essentially play a integral role in our public health system. They provide oversight and guidance for local health departments and they help set public priorities for our communities (2002). The leadership roles that boards of health play, make them the liaison between public health services and a health community. They are uniquely positioned to deliver and provide technical expertise in governance, board development, health priorities, and public health policy at the local level (2002). The mission of the National Association of Local Boards of Health is to strengthen and improve public health governance (NALBOH.org). Their vision is to cultivate...
