title: Your duty to report.
abstract: Anyone raising a concern about colleague should be able to do so with the expectation that their concern will be taken seriously and dealt with appropriately, and that they themselves will be supported. As a registered nurse, you have a duty under the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) code to raise concerns if you believe patient safety, or the safety of others, is at risk.
