It also explores the issues of accountability and responsibilities in circumstances which may be out of the control of the health professional but nevertheless they may be accountable. It looks at the consequences of following orders, guidelines and protocols, waiting lists and resources. It also looks at the expectations and inherent conflict between the law, the professional bodies and the employer.
