The role of the NMC

“We regulate nurses and midwives in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. We exist to protect the public. We set standards of education, training, conduct and performance so that nurses and midwives can deliver high quality healthcare throughout their careers. We make sure that nurses and midwives keep their skills and knowledge up to date and uphold our professional standards. We have clear and transparent processes to investigate nurses and midwives who fall short of our standards. We maintain a register of nurses and midwives allowed to practise in the UK.” Source

There are various sanctions that can be imposed on Nurses and Midwives by the NMC. These include Interim Orders, Condition of Practice Orders, Caution Orders, Suspensions all the way through to Striking Off. Each of these possible outcomes will obviously be a cause of stress and anxiety to nurses and midwives potentially facing NMC Disciplinary Hearings.
