Many of the publications of the Nursing Council are freely available on this website.  Printed copies of all publications may be purchased from the Council for (in most cases) a nominal amount – necessary to cover the costs of printing and distribution.

Every effort has been taken to make sure that these publications are 100% correct, but in the event of any discrepancy, the text published in the original publication will always take precedence over the copies published here.

You may print copies of those publications available on this website for your own personal use or for study purposes.  You may NOT sell any such copies.  You are welcome to extract quotations from the publications for including in your own original works provided that the necessary reference to the publication concerned is made.
