| Evaluation of the Polish Code of Veterinary Professional Ethics through the passage of time. Is there an urgent need for reform? |
| The Polish Code of Veterinary Professional Ethics is a set of ethical standards for the veterinary profession and a binding legislative act. The provisions of the code were analysed and interpreted, which revealed some of its provisions as flawed and identified various categories of flaws with respect to components requiring change. The results of this research demonstrate urgent need for a thorough reform of the code and suggest amendments. The article also discusses the guiding principle of professional ethics for Polish veterinarians. |
