Accountability is a key concern for nurses and midwives in the NHS
today. Professional accountability–being responsible for your
actions and for the outcomes of these actions–is part of the
framework of clinical governance, which aims to provide good
quality, cost-effective, evidence-based care.
The second edition of Accountability in Nursing and
Midwifery addresses current issues and key concerns in
accountability, focusing on accountability in the four main
branches of nursing (adult, child, learning disabilities and mental
health), as well as in midwifery, community nursing, and nursing
management. In an increasingly litigious society, the ethical and
legal implications of accountability are growing and it is
important that nurses understand the implications for everyday
practice.
