Research into NMC processes and people’s diversity characteristics
As a regulator, it’s our responsibility to tackle inequality and promote diversity and inclusion in everything we do. That starts with scrutinising our own processes to make sure they are fair and accessible. It also means holding people to account and working with our partners to tackle inequalities that cut across the health and social care sector.
Ambitious for change
In 2019, we launched Ambitious for change – a programme of research aimed at assessing the impact our regulatory processes have on different groups of nurses, midwives and nursing associates.
Phase one
The first phase involved analysis of our data alongside the data of other organisations and wider research, to identify if professionals from different backgrounds received different outcomes from our regulatory processes between April 2016 and March 2019. We looked at our education, overseas registration, revalidation, and fitness to practise processes. The findings told us that people sometimes have different outcomes based on who they are.
