Hearings
Fitness to practise
Nurses and midwives must register with us and meet our standards to work in the UK and be fit for practise
If an allegation is made about a nurse or midwife who may not meet the standards we set, we will investigate and, where necessary, take action to safeguard the health and wellbeing of the public.
Less than 0.2 percent of nurses and midwives have allegations made about their fitness to practise. The vast majority work within their code and consistently meet the high standards expected by the public.
