	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2024 answer text <p>It is the responsibility of professionals and their employers to ensure professional titles are used appropriately, and are not misleading to patients. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines set out that all healthcare professionals directly involved in a patient's care should introduce themselves and explain to the patient: who is responsible for their clinical care and treatment; the roles and responsibilities of the different members of the healthcare team; and the communication about their care that takes place between members of the healthcare team.</p><p> </p><p>Professions that are regulated in statute have titles that are protected by law, and professionals must be registered with a statutory regulator to use them. It is an offence for a person to use a title they are not legally permitted to use, or to otherwise hold themselves out to be a regulated professional.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 15/04/2024 08:28:46 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
