About the team and what we do
Hearings Coordinators are a part of the Adjudication team. The Adjudication team within the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) plays a crucial, independent role in the final stages of the fitness to practise process, responsible for organising, managing, and delivering hearings where decisions are made about a nurse, midwife, or nursing associate's right to practise.
This team ensures that hearings are run efficiently, fairly, and in compliance with statutory frameworks, with the ultimate goal of protecting the public and maintaining confidence in the profession.
Your role and Impact
Hearings Coordinators play a pivotal role in protecting the public and supporting trust in healthcare. In this role, you’ll guide the smooth running of our Fitness to Practise hearings — ensuring that proceedings are fair, well-managed, and respectful for everyone taking part.
You’ll coordinate multiple participants (including Chairs, panel members, legal advocates, registrants, and witnesses), maintain the flow of the hearing, and draft the formal written outcome based on decisions made. The work is practical, public-facing, and high-stakes; it demands clarity, composure, and strong communication.
This role sits at the heart of our values: Integrity, Fairness, Respect, Equity, and Effectiveness. These values guide how hearings are run, how decisions are communicated, and how we support those who appear before us.
