Does anyone know where I can find a psychiatrists code of practice please? There must be an actual factual document?? Do psychiatrists take the hippocratic oath? Thanks

I am assuming as a docor they have to take the hippocratic oath as for the regulations to be followed as a psychiatrist I would check out their association websites

take care

Hi Bilbo

You may be able to find the code of practices from the government, or the body they have to follow............for example nurses are bodied by NMAS and they have to follow their policies.

You could ask your local doctor, im sure he will be able to help.

One thing though, a few years ago i needed codes of practice for something and i had to pay for it.

The library may be a good place to go.

Sorry this is a bit belated but the thread was moved and I only just found it.
I have been on the registered society websites of pscyhiatrists in the uK but found nothing.
Thanksf for your help
