NMBI is pleased to launch the Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Registered Nurses and Registered Midwives. This is the key revised guidance document for nurses and midwives in Ireland.

NMBI has revised the Code, focusing on public safety by ensuring registered nurses and registered midwives practise safely, while upholding the integrity of the professions.

The Code now contains six principles – Respect, Accountability, Competence, Trust, Collaboration and Leadership - an increase from the previous five principles. Leadership is introduced as a new more explicit principle.
