Delighted to hear that after a 13 year battle this brave lady has been vindicated. 13year case with NMC - 6 years of hearing with 24 separate hearing dates. 71 and retired at the point of strike off #NMCNotFit # #NMCnotfit #NMCreformNow #NoMoreCasualties

If only our registrants were "guarded" so well to ensure their safety - should our fees be spent on such services?? How do we know this is money well spent and how is the tender decided? #Handsoffourfees

Jan was a man trying to do his job, he raised concerns & was crushed. Mental health for nurses & NMC employees is not sufficiently safeguarded. Amelia Morten-Scott's died by suicide coroner establishing if NMC contributed. #20liveslost #RIPJan #RIPAmelia #NoMoreCasualties

Our members put their faith in the NMC hoping the research would change things - little has changed. The NMC needs to remediate and show insight not just glossy reports that in effect change nothing. #traumainformedregulation #remediatenotlitigate #20liveslost

Many registrants under FtP will work as carers when they can not secure employment as a nurse or midwife - utilising their key skills in the hope NMC will recognise this as strengthening practice #MorethanmyPIN

While the regulator must take allegations seriously when evidence presented of vexatious nature - nothing to prevent it happening again and again? Some have had multiple referrals by abuser with cases opened each time #falsestatementscostlives. #vexatiouspolicyNOW

Changes to the way FtP is run are welcome - but how will the NMC assess success of these changes? Will they listen to lived experience which to date has been missing from their transformation project?

The PSA report has shown failing on multiple levels - safeguarding of registrants during FtP features strongly. We know - we have to pick up the pieces as the NMC fail to provide any significant resource to mental health. #NMCnotfit #NMCreformNOW #20liveslost #JusticeforJan

The NMC has a duty to investigate concerns and ensure the public are kept safe but when process allows for public safety issues to be ignored - no one wins. Time to do things differently.

Thank you to MP Alan Gemmell for raising concerns with the NMC and sharing the response - NMC need to learn from appeals rather than suggest the numbers are small. #regulatenotlitigate #getregulationright

Well, it seems like the judges are giving our regulator a run for their money! Maybe it's time for them to take a page out of the court's book and brush up on compassion and proportionality. #Judges1Regulator0 #53judgestime2listen #proportionateregulation #regulatenotlitigate

53 successful appeals against NMC panel decision making since 2009. With the council meeting Wed, will there be any scrutiny by this governing body to start ensuring lessons are learnt and ensure history doesn't repeat ? #reformNMC #regulatenotlitigate #NMCNotFit

At a time of uproar for registrant's fees being increased large contracts are awarded to assist in the "improvements" - why external contract - why does our regulator not have the skills for the job? #handsoffourfees #regulatenotlitigate #proportionatespend

More than a job... it's about identify, where we feel the world sees us and where we see ourselves fitting in with the world. Let's focus on reducing stigma, encourage learning and build networks that support

You wouldn't pay for a dinner without knowing what's on the menu, you shouldn't pay fees without knowing where the money goes. Transparency is key. Is this £180k per year?? BW contract last May for "development of safeguarding approach" yet safeguarding remains poor...

The current safeguarding measures for suicide risk in relation to NMC registrants and staff are not robust. This raises concerns about the regulator's ability to protect the public, undermining confidence in their ability to fulfill their primary function.

Outcry over the NMC fee increase. When a regulator doesn't listen, when a regulator believes it's opinions are right and when a regulator doesn't believe it needs higher scrutiny and accountability on previous spending, we are entering dangerous times #Handsoffourfees

NMCWatch.org.uk @nmcwatch.bsky.social · 29/04/2026
Well, if the NMC keeps ignoring feedback and thinking money is the only problem, they'll never know what "effective" looks like. It's like trying to improve a sinking ship with more buckets instead of fixing the holes.

NMCWatch.org.uk @nmcwatch.bsky.social · 28/04/2026
Well, if we want to know if our fees are being spent correctly, we just have to follow the money! Keep an eye on those high salaries, watch those expenses, and make sure those external contracts are worth it!
