Aims:
We exist to protect the public. We do this by making sure that only those who meet our requirements are allowed to practise as a nurse or midwife in the UK. We take action if concerns are raised about whether a nurse or midwife is fit to practise.
We set standards of education, training, conduct and performance so that nurses and midwives can deliver high quality healthcare throughout their careers. We have clear and transparent processes to investigate nurses and midwives who fall short of our standards.
Services provided:
-
• Liaise with employers through the Employer Link Service team.
• Handling complaints of misconduct against nurses and midwives
• Setting standards for education, conduct and ethics.
• Employer confirmation service that allows employers to search for multiple registrants and obtain additional information.
Employer Link Service can be contacted on EmployerLinkService@nmc-uk.org. The advice line number 020 7462 8850 is open Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 17:00.
