"UNISON has become increasingly concerned to ensure that its registered nurse, midwife and health visitor members are reminded of their professional responsibilities to the UKCC (See UKCC Advice)

Amongst these responsibilities is a duty to:

11. report to an appropriate person or authority, having regard to the physical, psychological and social effects on patients and clients, any circumstances in the environment of care which could jeopardise standards of practice;

12. report to an appropriate person or authority any circumstances in which safe and appropriate care for patients and clients cannot be provided;

13. report to an appropriate person or authority where it appears that the health or safety of colleagues is at risk, as such circumstances may compromise standards of practice and care;

(Clauses 11, 12 and 13 ofUKCC Code of Professional Conduct)

The reason this is significant is that if an untoward incident occurs it is wise to have any of your previous concerns about staffing levels etc "on the record".

Please remember that, whilst your accountability to the UKCC is individual and personal, we would strongly suggest you consult your local UNISON branch in the first instance for advice prior to filling in this form.

This initiative is part of UNISON's ongoing commitment to the professional interests of its nurse, midwife and health visitor members."
