Raising a concern about your maternity care (NMC, March 2026)

Summary

This leaflet produced by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) can help you decide what you could do if you think a midwife, nurse or nursing associate may have done something wrong. This leaflet explains how we can help if someone has concerns about the care provided by a midwife, nurse or nursing associate during pregnancy, birth or the postnatal period. It covers:

• what the NMC does and when concerns should be raised with us
• what happens when someone contacts the NMC
• where people can go for other types of support, including employers and other organisations that may be better placed to help.
