The code is the foundation of good nursing and midwifery practice, and a key tool in safeguarding the health and wellbeing of the public.
In this section you will find information about the code, how to order copies for you and your colleagues and how to become a code champion
NMC code events
Highway Code events - September-November 2009
18 months after the launch of the code, we held a series of events around the UK to promote awareness and get feedback.
We are still keen to hear from you about how the code has affected your practice - go to our online form to get in touch.
We are always looking for new code champions!
To further encourage best practice in nursing and midwifery the NMC needs more active participation from our code champions.
If you have a registered code champion at your organisation you can obtain information from them.
Alternatively you can apply directly to the NMC directly and receive the code champion information.
