Abstract:
\n<\/strong>Medical professionalism lies at the heart of contemporary healthcare regulation, shaping expectations of ethical conduct, competence, and accountability. Patient complaints are a key arena in which professionalism is asserted, tested, and redefined through regulatory practice. This seminar offers a comparative examination of patient complaint mechanisms and medical professional regulation in Singapore and Hong Kong. It explores how medical councils receive, investigate, and adjudicate complaints, and how regulatory responses reflect differing understandings of professional responsibility and patient protection. Drawing on a decade-long review of local disciplinary cases, the seminar examines how regulators have interpreted and operationalized medical professionalism in response to public accountability. By situating doctrinal and empirical insights alongside comparative analysis, the seminar reflects on the continuing importance of medical professionalism in disciplinary practice and considers how regulatory responses may shape its development moving forward in increasingly complex healthcare environments.<\/p>\n
