The Fitness to Practise Committee holds meetings and hearings to consider fitness to practise cases. The committee is a panel made up of three people, including:
- a nurse, midwife or nursing associate
- a member of the public who isn't a registered nurse, midwife or nursing associate
- the Chair of the panel – this person can be a member of the public or a registered nurse, midwife, or nursing associate.
There'll always be someone on the panel who's on the same part of the register as the person being investigated. For example, if the concern is about a midwife, there'll be a midwife on the panel.
