Abstract
A consequence of the Government's agenda for nursing is that registered nurses are increasingly required to regard themselves as autonomous practitioners. It is therefore necessary to re-visit the legal principles involved so as to be able to identify where safe practice can be incorporated into the new innovative ways of nursing. The purpose of this article is to identify and reflect upon the ways in which nurses are incorporating these principles into practice, and secondly, to reflect on the question of accountability as expressed through the law and through the professional regulatory body's code of professional conduct.
