NZNO is committed to the representation of members and the promotion of nursing and midwifery. NZNO provides professional leadership and advice in a range of areas.

The majority of nurses will provide nursing care to people who are nearing the end of their life. The purpose of this position statement is to outline NZNO’s position on the role of the nurse in end-of-life decisions and care. This document is an update to the 2010 position statement on nurse’s role in end of life care decisions.

We are seeking your feedback on the position statement and in particular any further reference material or resources. We invite you to please forward this to Lorraine Ritchie at Lorrainer@nzno.org.nz by Wednesday June 8th, 2016.
