At the Nursing and Midwifery Council, our five core values – integrity, fairness, respect, equity, and effectiveness – express who we are and who we strive to be. They guide how we make decisions, treat each other and carry out our responsibilities as a modern and independent regulator.
Our values
Integrity
We do what is right, take responsibility for our actions, and keep our promises.
Fairness
We treat everyone consistently, explain our decisions clearly, and act without favour.
Respect
We show dignity, care and courtesy, fostering a positive, inclusive culture for everyone.
Equity
We are committed to being an anti-racist organisation where everyone can thrive, whatever their background or characteristics.
Effectiveness
We focus on outcomes, use time and resources wisely, and keep learning and improving.
Together, these values help us protect the public and support the professionals we regulate, building a stronger NMC for today and the future.
