Standards and guidance for nurses and midwives

The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) is committed to enabling Irish-registered nurses and midwives to play a leading role in improving our health service. Supporting nurses and midwives to make the right decisions for patient care and also achieve standards of professional practice is central to what NMBI does.

To help nurses and midwives in their decision-making, we have developed tools, standards and guidance which are available within this section of the website.

We encourage all registered nurses and midwives, as well as students and our stakeholders to read this content. 

• Read the Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics.
• Find out about your Scope of Practice.
• Read Practice Standards for Midwives.
• Learn about Medicines Management.
• Review other NMBI standards and guidance.
