The scenario of the exercise of the care professions has undergone in recent years rapid and profound changes that have come to change the nature and objectives of care activities, one of the causes has been the current proliferation of regulations governing the rights of the user / patient of the healthcare system, of the various healthcare activities, as well as of the requirements and availability of resources, among others, which implies an increasingly complex and demanding professional practice which leads to an increase in area of competence and in the professional responsibility of the physiotherapist.
This professional responsibility does not only imply the monitoring and compliance with current legislation, but also generates ethical and moral responsibility, given the various situations and / or ethical-legal conflicts that occur in healthcare practice; it is these reasons that demand a deep and interdisciplinary reflection of the health professions in order to give answers in the search for professional excellence.
