Abstract

The ‘preserving safety’ section of the Nursing and Midwifery Council's code is integral to the delivery of safe and effective care. Nurses working in community settings are often exposed to unique challenges linked to their environment and the nature of their caseloads. The author addresses some of the ways in which community nurses can optimise their own safety while safeguarding the public. This article also explores best practice when things go wrong from a duty of candour perspective.
