NMBI’s Fitness to Practise Officer, Jeanne Tarrant spoke to our colleagues at Beaumont Hospital, Dublin on 20 July. 

The event was organised by Marie Murray, Director of Nursing at Beaumont Hospital with more than 280 people in attendance. It gave us an opportunity to remind nurses and midwives about the importance of the Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics. 

Jeanne highlighted the importance of knowing the Code and how nurses and midwives can protect themselves and service users. During the session she shared anonymised case studies and invited attendees to take part by providing their insights into how the Code had been breached. 

We would like to thank those in attendance for the positive feedback and we aim to hold additional workshops in the future.
