Abstract
In 2004, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) produced an updated version of its Code of Professional Conduct, entitled The NMC Code of Professional Conduct: Standards for Conduct, Performance and Ethics (2004). In part the aim of this latest version was to include for the first time certain groups of nurses. Specialist community public health nurses are named whereas the previous version (2002) referred to nurses and midwives only. However, the updated version also incorporates a new section--paragraph 9--which concentrates the registrant's mind towards the issue of insuring their practice. This article discusses the ramifications of this addition.
