Ethics for health and social workers

Health and social care workers are expected to have a high level of cultural competence, altruistic behaviour and the ability to find ways of solving everyday problems that respect the dignity of people in difficult situations. In their work, they meet clients of different age and social groups, clients with different health or social disadvantages, as well as with so-called. "difficult" clients. As a result, their work is challenging and requires overcoming a number of pitfalls. The authors of the publication have tried to create a synthetic work that discusses various ethical aspects of health and social work, and which will therefore help to prepare health and social workers to act and behave professionally and ethically in their daily contact with clients.
