Introducing the new Code
The NMC has updated its Code of
professional standards.
It sets out the revised universal
standards expected of nurses and
midwives, which they must uphold
every day in order to be registered to
practise in the UK.
The new Code is effective from
31 March 2015.

What’s new in the Code?
Duty of Candour
Every healthcare professional must
be open and honest with patients
when something goes wrong with
their treatment or care which
causes, or has the potential to
cause harm or distress.
Fundamentals of care
The Code sets standards of
fundamental care and provides
examples of what this includes
such as nutrition, hydration and
environmental cleanliness.
Social media
The Code recognises the changing
nature of communications and sets
standards for acting responsibly
including the use of social media.
8
What’s new in the Code?
Medicines management and
prescribing
Standards that clearly set the
context for prescribing, supply,
dispensing and administering
medications.
Conscientious objection
Nurses and midwives must act in
the best interests of people at all
times and can only make
conscientious objections to a
particular procedure in limited
circumstances.
End of life care
Specific reference is made to the
needs of those in the last days and
hours of life.
9
What changed in the Code?
A greater focus on:
Compassionate care – kindness, respect and compassion
Teamwork – work co-operatively
Record keeping – six clear standards to support all record keeping
Delegation and accountability – delegate responsibly, be accountable
Raising concerns – this aligns the Code with the re-launched Raising
Concerns Guidance published in 2013
Cooperating with investigations and audits – includes those against
individuals or organisations and acting as a witness at hearings.

Portfolios
Participants will compile a portfolio to include:
• A record of the practice hours completed and the context and settings
of practice in which it was undertaken
• Five pieces of feedback
• Five reflective accounts on feedback on their practice and their CPD
activities and linking this to Code requirements
• CPD related evidence
• Professional indemnity arrangement information
• Confirmation-related documents
NMC guidance will set out detailed records that should be kept in the
portfolio.
Once you get going, it is straightforward …
Reflective accounts – what
nurses and midwives need to
do
• Participants will produce 5 reflective accounts to show how
their CPD activity and feedback from patients and others
affirms or improves their practice in relation to the Code
• Most registrants already receive feedback without asking
for it or through their existing employer feedback systems.
• Further information on this will be provided in the ‘How to
Revalidate’ document.
CPD – what nurses and
midwives need to do
• 40 hours of CPD required - at least 20 hours must be
participatory learning (learning with others, not alone)
• NMC guidance will help you to understand how to meet
this requirement.
Continuing Professional
Development
You may find it useful to note certain aspects of the training, and keep this with the Certificate to reflect your continuing
professional development for your NMC portfolio.
