Nurses and the Law

Nurses-and-the-law-2nd-ed-covThe second edition of Nurses and the Law is designed to give QNU members an overview of the Australian legal system as it relates to the work they do as nurses and midwives.

Nurses and the Law (2nd edition) provides members with a single reference tool for how the law affects their work as a nurse or midwife in Queensland. It is a QNU guide to the professional and legal obligations placed on working nurses and midwives and includes detailed information on new national registration and accreditation requirements under the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law Act 2009, which was introduced in July 2010.

If you’re a member, regardless of whether you work in the public health system, private hospitals, aged care or community health, this is the handbook for you.
