Engaging with us
As the professional regulator for nurses and midwives and nursing associates we must respond to concerns brought to our attention which fall within our remit regarding:
- the practice or conduct of any of the professionals on our register
- any concerns about the safety, quality or suitability of practice learning environments for students
- issues relating to registration, such as people practising while not on the register, without indemnity or having joined the register without meeting our registration requirements.
If you have any concerns or any concerns are raised with you about any of the above, it’s your responsibility as an employer to be open and proactive in your response to concerns and to decide whether to refer professionals on our register to us.
Our employer resource has been developed to support you to effectively respond to concerns about a professional’s conduct or practice. We would also encourage you to speak with our Employer Link Service for advice on making a referral, if necessary.
Where we become aware of the types of concerns raised above, we may contact you to request information. In that event, we ask you to respond to our enquiries as quickly as possible so that we can make decisions without delay.
We always welcome proactive communication from employers at the earliest stage that concerns arise so that we can decide the most appropriate steps to address any concerns.
