Professional conduct

(1) The Council may by regulations prescribe standards of professional conduct and etiquette and a code of ethics for physiotherapists and occupational therapists. (2) Regulations made under sub-section (1) may specify which violations thereof shall constitute professional misconduct and such provision shall have effect notwithstanding anything contained in any law for the time being in force. (3) Whenever the Executive Committee after such enquiry as it thinks fit, recommends that the name of any person enrolled in the Register of Physiotherapists or Register of Occupational Therapists be removed therefrom, it shall report to the Council and the Council shall after such enquiry as it may deem fit, by order, direct the removal of the name of such person from the said register either permanently or for such period as may be specified in the order. (4) Any person aggrieved by an order of the Council may prefer an appeal against that order to the Government in such form and manner, within such time, on such conditions and on payment of such fees as may be prescribed. (5) On receipt of such appeal, the Government may, after giving the person concerned an opportunity of being heard and after consulting the Council pass appropriate orders which shall be final and binding.
