NMC

What the NMC does

The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is the independent regulator for nurses, midwives, and nursing associates in the UK. It maintains the register and investigates concerns about fitness to practise.

Cases that proceed to a substantive hearing are heard by an independent panel, which may impose erasure, suspension, conditions on practice, a caution, or take no action.

Where to find decisions

The NMC publishes recent fitness-to-practise outcomes on its main website. Older outcomes are time-limited; MedicWatch retains the persistent record under the journalism exemption.
