Your input is important to help us produce a new code that establishes the professional values and standards expected by nurses, midwives, patients, service users and the public.  Key goals for the future Code include: to provide guidance for ethical decision-making, to act as an an aid to use in your day to day practice and as a support for on-going reflection and professional self-development.  Accompanying guidance is planned to link with the Code.  Guidance on Social Media is the first topic being drafted.

Heading into the New Year we ask that you as a registered nurse or registered midwife actively engage with the national consultation and the NMBI’s call for submissions.  Your opinions and views are wanted!

The specific details about the consultation period will be posted in the January ezine and in other information sources, be on the lookout!  As a reminder the report of the focus groups findings on the draft code which were conducted earlier this year is available on our site.

Any comments regarding the review can be sent to reviewofcode@nursingboard.ie.
