Abstract
Nurses now have a statutory and professional duty to be open and candid with patients about any errors in their care and treatment. A professional duty of candour is a key requirement of the revised Code from the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC, 2015). Nurses are also subject to a statutory duty of candour imposed on their employer. In this article, the author considers the statutory and professional duties of candour and their impact on nurses.
