Abstract
This article considers the issue of poor care and how nurses should respond when they encounter
it. Several reports and inquiries into failings in care have called into question the standards of
care provided by nurses. Of equal concern is the observation that in some instances, poor care
is unreported. While there may be underlying structural and organisational reasons for this, it is
contended that nurses have a legal, moral and professional obligation to report poor care when
they become aware of it.
