Zawód zaufania publicznego z perspektywy zawodów medycznych – rozważania terminologiczno-definicyjne

Abstract

The article presents an attempt to systematize medical professions, their grouping and role in the health care system. The research uses methods of logical and linguistic analysis and of interpretation of administrative law acts, with particular emphasis on the regulations on people providing health services. It has been shown that the lack of a clear definition of the medical profession makes it difficult to assess the increasingly broader competences of individual medical professions and them taking over some responsibilities and to establish boundaries between professions. I present basic issues that refer to regulated, free and independent professions. The analysis is carried out from the point of view of protection of security, of reservation of public security points and of an analysis of checkpoints from the point of view of health protection.
