Abstract: | This Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct for Nurses and Midwives applies to nurses and midwives registered with the Maltese Council for Nurses and Midwives [CNM]. This document together with any other published documents by the CNM provides a framework for professional accountability and responsibility of nursing and midwifery practice in all domains including clinical, management, education and research. The Code contains a series of statements that taken together promotes good nursing and midwifery practice. These statements put the interests of patients and service users first, are safe and effective, and promotes trust through professionalism. They serve as a reference guide for ethical decisions that arise during practice and inform society about the ethical obligations and professional conduct that is expected from nurses and midwives. The Code also specifies the ethical obligations expected from management, educators and researchers over and above the generic statements. |
