RMP Full Form

A registered medical practitioner is one who holds a medical qualification as specified in clause (h) of section 2 of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 (102 of 1956) and whose name is on a State Medical Register.

Registered Medical Practitioner

A Registered Medical Practitioner is someone who has obtained registration with a State Medical Council after completing an undergraduate medical course at an institution recognized by the state government and authorized by the Medical Council of India.

RMP is legally allowed to practice medicine. Technically, no one other than an RMP who performs medicine may use the suffix RMP after his name.

In practice, however, no MBBS graduate suffixes RMP. At the same time, those without a medical qualification add the suffix RMP, providing the full term ‘Rural Medical Practitioner.’ It’s against the law.

Medical practitioner’s responsibilities

In general, a professional man owes his client a duty of reasonable care in offering advice or executing services, both in tort and in the contract. Under the Consumer Protection Act, medical practitioners from all disciplines of medicine, including allopathic, homeopathy, and naturopathy, may be held accountable. The duties that a doctor owes to his patients are well defined.

• Responsibility of care in determining whether or not to pursue the lawsuit,
• Responsibility of care in determining what therapy to administer.
• A duty of care in the treatment’s administration.
• A breach of any of these responsibilities provides the patient the right to sue for negligence.

The practitioner must bring a fair level of expertise and understanding to his assignment, as well as exercise a reasonable level of care. The law does not require the very highest or very low degree of care and competence to be judged in light of the individual circumstances of each instance.

Duties of Medical Practitioner

1. Patients must be able to trust medical practitioners with their livelihoods and well-being. To validate that confidence, medical practitioners have a duty as representatives of the medical community to uphold the code of conduct, preserve high standards of professional conduct and care, and safeguard a person’s existence. 
2. In either of these areas, a medical practitioner shouldn’t ever prejudge unlawfully towards his clients or colleagues, and he should always be equipped to prove his point to the victims.

One must, in particular, as a medical practitioner: 

(i) emphasize for their patients’ care; 

(ii) recognise each patient courteously and thoughtfully; 

(iii) respect the confidentiality and autonomy of the patients;

 (iv) pay heed to the patients and understand their concerns; 

(v) focus on providing anticipatory guidance in a way that is intended; 

(vi) respect patients’ privileges to be involved directly in healthcare decisions; and 

(vii) keep one’s professional competence up to date. 

(viii) acknowledge one’s professional competence’s constraint; 

(ix) be trustworthy and reliable; 

(x) preserve and protect sensitive information; 

(xi) ensure that one’s individual perceptions do not adversely impact clinical outcomes; and 

(xii) act quickly to protect patients from hazard if the medical practitioner has probable cause to believe that he or a coworker is unsuitable to start practicing. 

(xiii) refrain from abusing his position as a physician; and 

(xiv) engage with professionals in activities that enhance patients’ health.
