| Abstract: | On the 29th May 1997, the Nursing and Midwifery Professions had their Code of Ethics published by the Nursing and Midwifery Board. This publication was a much-awaited step in the right direction and was very much required for the recognition of the Nursing and Midwifery professions and for them to be able to regulate themselves. The Code itself deals with universal principles of ethical and moral behaviour. These principles cannot be perceived as being principles of law typical of the "Thou shall not" type of commandments, but as principles that transcend law itself. Ethical principles are above the law because of their universality which renders them applicable to the whole of mankind. |
