In his continuing series looking at the law underpinning the standards set out in the revised Code ( NMC, 2015 ), Richard Griffith considers standard 2, which requires district nurses to work in partnership with the people in their care. Although the right to self-determination and the requirement for consent has been a legal principle in health care for over 100 years, its emphasis has been on providing a defence for health professionals rather than promoting partnership in the district nurse-patient relationship. Recent developments in policy and law have begun to herald a change in emphasis from 'health professional knows best' to a more patient-focused approach to decisions about care and treatment.
在他持续探讨支撑修订版《守则》（英国国家医疗服务体系护理及助产士管理局，2015年）所规定标准的法律的系列文章中，理查德·格里菲思审视了标准2，该标准要求社区护士与他们所护理的人员建立合作关系。尽管自决权和同意要求在医疗保健领域作为一项法律原则已有100多年历史，但其重点一直是为医疗专业人员提供辩护，而非促进社区护士与患者关系中的合作。政策和法律的最新发展已开始预示着重点从“医疗专业人员最了解情况”向更以患者为中心的护理和治疗决策方法转变。
