Read about a new report from the NMC that shows the most common reasons why nurses are referred to fitness-to-practise proceedings.
The article from Nursing Times discusses the findings of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) regarding the reasons for referrals of nurses and midwives in the UK. According to the data, patient care issues are the most common reason for referrals to the NMC, with over 4,000 cases in the year leading up to December 2024. These referrals often involve concerns about clinical practice, medication errors, and patient safety. Other significant reasons for referrals include professional conduct, such as dishonesty or inappropriate behavior, and issues related to health and well-being, like substance abuse. The NMC emphasizes the importance of maintaining high standards of care and professionalism, and it uses these referrals to ensure that nurses and midwives are fit to practice, thereby protecting the public. The article also highlights the NMC's efforts to streamline the referral process to make it more efficient and less stressful for both the public and the professionals involved.
