Nurses and midwives have one of the most demanding jobs in the UK. Nursing is multifaceted and involves safeguarding the health and wellbeing of members of the public at all times. It is said that less than 0.2 percent of nurses and midwives have allegations made about their fitness to practice. Most of you work within your Code and consistently meet the high standards expected by the public and the NMC. But allegations do get made. If an allegation is made that you have not met the standards set by the NMC they will investigate and where necessary take action to safeguard the health and wellbeing of the public.
Proper advice in the early stages can avoid escalation of the matter and could prevent a referral to the NMC or the NMC from finding there is a case to answer
Our specialist barristers can offer advice in the early stages and help you through the process from beginning to end.
They genuinely understand the complexities of working in healthcare and can help.

Testimonial
I thoroughly recommend Catherine Stock to any nurse facing any regulatory issue. Catherine provides a titanium tower of strength through the most difficult of times. Please do not hesitate to call her. I was so relieved when I asked for a ‘second opinion’ on my case. The feeling of being entirely alone left me in an instant and for the first time in months Catherine gave me hope.
Catherine could have said it was ‘too late’, however, she did not. Catherine stepped in and provided more support and invaluable legal advice over and above the call of duty. Catherine is dedicated to nurses and this shines through when you speak to her. She has a great attention to detail and never loses the ‘human’ aspect of matters.
I used Kings View Chambers for my case, which in my thinking was very very difficult. I consulted Barrister Ms Catherine Stock who was very open to me and did not promise me anything, but encouraged me to think positive, which I listened to and did. Ms Stock helped me with all the questions I had. My case went before the tribunal and we won the case, I could not believe it, it took some days to sink in. Kings View Chambers are professional in all that they do, you are always informed and you don’t have to ask for information because they are a professional team. I would like to thank their administrators as well for a job well done, they do a wonderful job in keeping you updated with the progress of your case. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend anyone to use their service they are brilliant and well-focused on the task at hand. Thank you Kings View Chambers you are the best.
