Resumen

SYKES, LM  y  VAN ZYL, AM. Wilful blindness. S. Afr. dent. j. [online]. 2023, vol.78, n.10, pp.529-531. ISSN 0375-1562.

Practitioners who are aware of colleagues carrying out unprofessional activities, yet choose to turn a blind eye to the transgressions, may themselves be acting dishonestly and unethically. This paper explores both the legal and ethical concerns of "wilful blindness" on the part of those who observe potential wrongdoing among others within the dental fraternity, yet remain silent. It also covers the HPCSA regulations regarding the duty to report and the risks associated with being a "whistle-blower".
