Concerns about nurses, midwives or nursing associates

We need nurses, midwives and nursing associates to have specific skills, knowledge, health and character to do their jobs safely and effectively. If they meet our criteria set out in the Code, it means that they're fit to practise in the UK and be on our register.

If someone raises a concern about someone's skills, education and behaviour, this will go through what we refer to as our fitness to practice process.
