Concerns you should refer to us

Last Updated 12/12/2024

Referring someone to their professional regulator is a significant step. You should read this resource to make sure you're clear on making a possible referral to us.

We know there will always be times when you want to talk things through. You might think a possible referral is ‘borderline’ and that a little more guidance would be helpful. Or you may just want us to confirm your own conclusions. Whatever the situation, we strongly encourage you to always speak with one of our experienced Regulation Advisers before making a referral to us.

Before you call us check if the professional works for you, for an agency or other provider. This will help inform our discussion and the decision-making process.

Please get in touch with us by either calling on 020 7462 8850 (phone line open between: 9:00 - 17:00) or by email: employerlinkservice@nmc-uk.org
Somebody in our team will ask you for:

  • your name, job title, place of work, phone number and email address
  • details about the issue and your reasons for seeking advice from us
  • the name and PIN of the professional.
