ABSTRACT
In previous chapters, you have learnt about the importance of providing good client or
patient care so that ethical problems and/or dilemmas are minimised. In addition, by using
critical systematic reflection in relation to situations, incidents and behaviours you can gain
insight into your own behaviour. When doing this, the questions that you or others ask will
highlight discrepancies in your thinking, which will then lead you to improve your profes-
sional practice. In this chapter, you will learn how working in a team impacts on ethical
issues, problems and/or dilemmas, so that you can be aware of the potential conflicts that
could lie ahead. This is important as, in today’s health practice, it is usual for a team to pro-
vide the care and treatment of clients or patients.
