Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
The Rules approved by this Order, which are made by the United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting, further amend the rules approved by the Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors Rules Approval Order 1983, in relation to midwifery training and practice.
They amend the definition of an “emergency” for the purposes of the Rules and provide for entry to training on the basis of a qualification in Welsh (as an alternative to English). They also substitute new provision as to the responsibility and sphere of practice of a midwife and the administration of medicines and other forms of pain relief.
