‘Beware the rituals – look for evidence behind your actions’

“Every ward I went on had its way of dealing with certain problems that depended solely on the sister’s or consultant’s preference.” (White, 2013)

Nursing & Midwifery Council code6. Always practise in line with the best available

evidence To achieve this, you must: 6.1 make sure that any information or advice given is

evidence based, including information relating to using any healthcare products or services, and

6.2 maintain the knowledge and skills you need for safe and effective practice.

(NMC, 2015, p. 7)
