  • Enabling professionalism in nursing and midwifery practice

    Topics:
    • Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professions (AHPs), 
    • Nursing professional guidance

    The professionalism of nurses and midwives has always been essential to good care. We all know professionalism when we see it – but there’s never been a single definition for what it means in nursing and midwifery.

    Enabling professionalism in nursing and midwifery practice sets out what professionalism looks like in everyday practice through the application of the Code. This will help nurses and midwives to reflect on their own practice.
