We would like to thank all nurses and midwives who recently took part in the focus groups held by the Irish Society for Quality and Safety in Healthcare on behalf of An Bord Altranais.  We appreciate registrants contributing their views on a new draft code of conduct and ethics at this first phase of consultation.  For those who were not able to participate in the groups there will be upcoming opportunities to share your comments and views in the near future.  Details of the national consultation with the professions and the public will be provided on our website and through the ezine.
