On World Quality Day, the Northern Ireland Practice and Education Council for Nursing and Midwifery (NIPEC) has published its Annual Quality Report 2025/26, highlighting the work undertaken by the organisation over the past year to support nursing and midwifery across Northern Ireland.

This year’s World Quality Week theme, Quality: powering performance, provides an opportunity to reflect on the importance of quality in the work of organisations and the services they deliver. For NIPEC, this means strengthening professional practice and education, developing the nursing and midwifery workforce, and contributing to improvements in the quality of care.

NIPEC Chief Executive, Roisin Devlin, said:

“The Annual Quality Report gives us an opportunity to look back on the breadth of NIPEC’s work over the past year and recognise the contribution of our staff and partners. It also allows us to look ahead, consider the priorities for the coming year and how we can continue to make a positive contribution to nursing and midwifery across Northern Ireland.”

Brenda Carson, Senior Professional Officer, said:

“Quality improvement is about continually looking at how we work, recognising what works well and identifying where things can be done better. The projects and initiatives highlighted in this report demonstrate the value of sharing knowledge, learning from experience and working together to support improvements in practice.”

NIPEC thanks its staff and partners for their contribution throughout the year.
