A few pointers from the module content:

Laws are the rules governing the way we live and interact within society, from a singular perspective to a group or professional perspective.

For example: The paramedic’s legal duties are to the client/patient, their employer and the public. These legal duties are defined by statutes and regulations, and are based on generally accepted standards of medical care.

Ethics is the study of morals or principles. It is a systematic reflection on and analysis of morality.

For example: Paramedics have ethical responsibilities that include:

• Responding with respect to the physical and emotional needs of every client/patient.
• Maintaining mastery of skills.
• Participating in continuing education/professional development.
• Critically reviewing performance and seeking improvement.
• Reporting honestly.
• Respecting confidentiality.
• Working cooperatively and with respect for other health care

professionals.

• Staying current with new concepts and modalities. (Sanders,2000, p.67.)

Ethics refers to the personal standards and actions that are based on community moral standards, therefore your decisions and actions may be reviewed for moral and ethical standards as well as legality.
