Clinicians and healthcare providers are frequently reminded that they are 'accountable' practitioners - but what is the definition of accountability, and how does it apply in a practical and legal context? To clarify these issues, the University of Nottingham School of Nursing has formed a partnership with Browne Jacobson Solicitors. Together they have developed a 7-stage training programme for nursing students which covers the key aspects of accountability, including ethical concepts, the law of negligence, and scenario-based training on being called as a witness in an investigation. This article introduces the implications of accountability and describes the structure and syllabus of the programme, including participants' feedback on the benefits of the experience.
