Professionalism and appropriate boundaries are foundational to safe, effective general practice. Maintaining clear boundaries protects patients, supports clinical objectivity, and safeguards practitioners from ethical and legal risk. GP supervisors play a critical role in modelling these behaviours and explicitly teaching registrars how to navigate complex, real-world situations.
