title: The Code is a chance to lobby for change.
abstract: When we launched our Care campaign in 2012, one of the clear messages was: there is no such thing as 'basic' nursing care. We took every opportunity to spread the word among politicians and the public that ensuring a patient is clean and comfortable and not thirsty or hungry is fundamental care. It goes to the heart of what nursing is, and there is nothing basic about it.
