Abstract
All nurses have a professional responsibility to report medication errors, and patients must be made aware of any incident involving them. I have been involved in investigating medication errors, and emotions often run high for the patients and staff involved, but you should never try to hide an error. Not only is this dangerous for patients, it can have serious consequences for your career, as you may be reported to the Nursing and Midwifery Council and face a disciplinary panel.
