I solemnly promise to serve humanity, caring for the sick, promoting good health, and alleviating pain and suffering to the best of my ability.
I will practise medicine with integrity, humility, honesty and compassion, working with my colleagues to meet the needs of patients.
With this profession comes considerable responsibility and I will not abuse my position, and will act in a professional manner at all times.
I will ensure that age, gender, race, religion, political affiliation, sexual orientation, nationality or social standing will not influence my duty of care.
I will respect patients’ values, beliefs and traditions whether or not they differ from my own and I will strive to assist my patients in making informed decisions.
I will endeavour to earn and keep, and never abuse, the trust placed in me as a doctor.
I will seek constantly to improve my medical knowledge and skills, whilst recognising the limits of my own ability.
I recognise the importance of sharing my expertise with colleagues and students to provide the best patient care.
I have chosen to make this declaration and will abide by it.
