Working as an occupational therapist (OT) places great demands on professional knowledge, including the OT’s ethical awareness and the ability to weigh different norms and values against one another. National guidelines for priority setting are one set of norms; ethical professional codes compose another. In Sweden, OTs have not only a National Model for Transparent Prioritisation, valid for all areas of health care, but also a specific Code of Ethics to support their professional decision making through reflection and analysis.
