No guidance has been issued centrally. It is for local national health service organisations in partnership with local authorities to commission high quality services and to integrate health and social care. The Nursing and Midwifery Council's ‘The code: Standards of conduct, performance and ethics for nurses and midwives’ makes the commitment for members to work with others to protect and promote the health and well-being of those in their care, their families and carers, and the wider community.
