The context of practice for registered nurses and midwives and other documents

18 Feb 2015

The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) has conducted a review and analysis of its suite of documents to ensure consistency across the national policies, guidelines, standards, codes and position statements.

The review identified a number of documents that required revision or re-write and a number of recommendations to improve stakeholder engagement with our web page.

Based on this review, a new suite of updated and streamlined NMBA documents including guidelines, policies, position statements, fact sheets and frameworks are being finalised.

We now have the following documents available:

Revised documents

• Fact sheet - The context of practice for registered nurses and midwives
• Fact sheet - The use of health practitioner protected titles

New document

• Position Statement on the role of nurses and midwives in a national emergency
