The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) of Ghana has issued a stern warning to student nurses, midwives, and practicing professionals to desist from unprofessional behavior on social media platforms. In a public notice dated October 6, 2025, the Council expressed deep concern over a growing trend of disturbing videos and social media posts involving trainee nurses, nurse assistants, and midwives that depict conduct deemed grossly unprofessional.

The NMC is particularly concerned about the following issues:
The misuse of uniforms, where professionals create social media content while wearing nursing and midwifery uniforms without authorization.
The use of abusive, derogatory, or offensive language directed at leadership and stakeholders.
The dissemination of misleading or unverified health information under the guise of professional advice.

The Council reminded practitioners that nursing and midwifery are professions built on integrity, respect, professionalism, and ethical responsibility. Any conduct that undermines these values not only damages the image of the profession but also erodes public trust in the healthcare system.

As a result, the NMC will not hesitate to invoke disciplinary measures, including suspension or revocation of licenses, against anyone found guilty of breaching the professional Code of Conduct. The Council urged all stakeholders to uphold the dignity and sanctity of the nursing and midwifery professions and to report any unprofessional behavior to the Council for appropriate action.
