The essential principles of the current medical profession are translated into basic attitudes, responsibilities, and commitments: • The promotion of altruism, integrity, honesty, sincerity, and empathy, which are essential for a care relationship based on trust. • The continuous improvement in professional practice and in the quality of care, based on scientific knowledge and self-assessment. In this new version of the Code, new chapters have been introduced, such as those related to Patient Safety, Telemedicine and Information and Communication Technologies, Artificial Intelligence, and large health databases. These new chapters complete the fields that have developed in medicine over the last decade, and that the CGCOM might need to regulate in the deontological field. The Code of Medical Ethics and Deontology is an essential element for exercising self-regulation, maintaining social trust, through transparency, accepting and correcting errors and inappropriate behavior, and proper conflict management. These norms are intended to provide a foundation, reflecting their development and adaptation, and ultimately determine the fair balance of the interests at stake in their respective territorial scope for the Regional Councils and Local Medical Associations, accepting the principles set forth herein. This Code is dynamic, and open to updates through the preparation of Statements by the Central Ethics Commission approved by the CGCOM General Assembly, so the updated edition must be consulted on
