The principle of veracity, a term often used in the medical profession, refers to the ethics of telling the truth and is one guide of the conduct of medical practitioners. While this principle is not a law, violation of ethical principles, including veracity, will result in a loss of credibility and respect with other professionals and patients alike Because medical personnel hold a position of trust in the community, they are held to high standards which promote accountability and overall professionalism.
