NMCWatch seeks to support nurses and midwives, and other healthcare professionals, going through Fitness to Practice investigations by their regulator. Our podcast offers some of those who have been through FtP a space to tell their side of the story; to honestly and openly tell us about the impact of this process and how they have come out of it.
Host Cathryn Watters, NMCWatch founder, went through her own investigation and brings her experience of that process along with those of all the nurses and midwives she has supported since, to create an expert, informed, friendly listen.

Barbara was 63 years old when she was first referred to the NMC. The allegation was sexual assault, the referrer also contacted the police. The alleged incident occurred in 2018 and while the police dropped the case after 3 weeks, the NMC took 33 months.
Finally, after ten days of hearings spread over seven months, including many adjournments, the NMC produced an application to withdraw the case through lack of evidence. While it was a huge relief to Barbara to have the case closed, it showed us, once again, about the conduct of the NMC legal team and the need for better transparency around evidence.
