Warning about bogus NMC callers

Date:20/10/2010

Nursing homes and care homes targeted for personal data

We have received reports from care homes and nursing homes who have been targeted by bogus callers requesting the names and PINs of nurses employed there, claiming to be from the NMC or the Care Quality Commission.

Phone calls requesting personal data are not the policy of either organisation, and you should not volunteer any information to these scam callers. Please take as many details from the caller as you can and send the details to us, or take the matter to the local police.
