Description
About the team and what we do
Our vision is for safe and effective nursing and midwifery practice across the four countries of the UK – regulated and supported by the NMC – a fit for the future organisation, with fairness and equity at the heart of everything we do.
Our role is to protect the public and maintain confidence in the nursing and midwifery professions. As the largest independent regulator in Europe of more than 860,000 nursing and midwifery professionals, we have a crucial role in making this a reality.
We do this by setting and promoting high education and professional standards for all future and registered nurses and midwives in the UK and nursing associates in England.
We also ensure every nurse, midwife and nursing associate on our Register meets clear standards of conduct and practice which protects the public and the reputation of our professions.
We have a duty to investigate concerns and to take steps to protect the public in the relatively rare instances where we need to limit or restrict a nurse, midwife or nursing associate’s right to practise.
We are building a new NMC with integrity, fairness, respect, equity and effectiveness at its core.
We are determined to improve and modernise our culture and ways of working. This will ensure that the public and professionals feel confident in our work.
About the team and what we do
The first stage in the fitness to practise process is called Screening. This is where we look at the concern someone’s raised with us in more detail and decide on the next steps.
The Triage team are part of the NMC’s Screening department. The team currently considers new enquiries received via our online referral form and assess whether the enquiry raises a fitness to practise concern.
The Triage team are using a new fitness to practise case management system, which in due course will replace the existing system used by the NMC’s other established fitness to practise teams. The team is at the forefront of our new ways of working and supporting our principal objective of reducing our fitness to practise caseload.
