Summary
The Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) are the independent regulator for nurses and midwives in the UK and nursing associates in England. Their annual report sets out their objectives, describes what they have achieved during the year and explains their governance, financial resources and future plans.
2023-24 was a difficult year for the NMC during which serious concerns were raised about its culture and regulatory decision making. A review was commissioned by Nazir Afzal OBE and Rise Associates, which highlighted safeguarding concerns and found that people working in the organisation have experienced racism, other forms of discrimination and bullying.
The NMC also commissioned two independent investigations by Ijeoma Omambala KC into some of their fitness to practise cases and the way the NMC handled whistleblowing concerns being raised. These will be published later in 2024.
