Call You and Yours: What will drive up nursing standards?

Available for over a year

A new set of professional standards will apply to every nurse and midwife working in the UK. They will be expected to speak out when something goes wrong and to immediately raise any concerns they have at work. Nurses and midwives will be obliged to take action in emergencies when off-duty and asked to act responsibly on social media. This will cover every form of nursing and midwifery, from hospital to nursing home, community to private from birth centre to intensive care. Are you somebody who wishes this could've come earlier to improve the care you or a loved one has had? Do you think a written code of practice is enough to restore trust after a string of NHS scandals? Maybe you're a nurse who feels this is yet another responsibility placed on already strained workers? We want to hear from you.
