Description

The scene of the practice of care professions, including Nursing, has undergone rapid and profound changes in recent years that have changed the nature and objectives of their activity. Some of the causes have been the current proliferation of regulations governing the rights of users of the healthcare system, the diversity of healthcare and Public Health activities, the desire to mainstream gender as an ethical foundation in nursing practice along with the rest of the Sustainable Development Goals (ODS) scheduled by the United Nations, the increase in vulnerable groups that require visibility by the health system, the application of ICTs to the sciences health, the new professional challenges facing pandemic situations, as well as the requirements and availability of resources and means, among others, facts that involve an increasingly complex and demanding professional exercise.

This professional responsibility does not only involve monitoring and complying with current legislation, but also ethical and moral responsibility, given the various situations and/or ethical-legal conflicts that occur in the practice of the profession.

It is these reasons that require a deep and interdisciplinary reflection of the health professions in order to provide answers in the search for professional excellence.

Bioethics and Health Legislation as disciplines offer tools and resources to promote and encourage reflection, dialogue and management of possible answers to the ethical-legal dilemmas that arise from professional practice and the social moment, always taking into account those col .the most vulnerable groups in our society.
