Delegation in Nursing and Midwifery

The focus of this Framework is centred on the person being cared for and the need for safe and effective delegation that supports services to enable and promote health, independence and wellbeing in the place of the person’s choice, as far as is possible.’ The Delegation Framework for nursing and midwifery practice in Northern Ireland was developed to ensure that the process of delegation at a local and regional level will meet the requirements of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Code and support the highest possible level of patient/client safety
