Course Description

This in-depth course explores the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Fitness to Practise (FtP) process and provides a clear roadmap for navigating each stage. Split into stages—from initial Screening to Monitoring and Compliance—the course guides healthcare professionals through the procedural, clinical, and legal expectations they will face once a referral has been made to the NMC.

This is finalised with a comprehensive quiz to reinforce understanding of the specific criteria used by case examiners and panels at every step. This course can be taken on its own or as a companion to Reflection Writing for the Fitness to Practise Process. The course supports those looking to manage their case proactively, reduce the stress of the unknown, and engage with the regulatory process effectively and professionally.

Certification

Upon completion, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion in Navigating the NMC Fitness to Practise Process. This certificate can be used as evidence of professional development and an commitment to understanding regulatory standards, and may support personal development plans or FtP remediation work.

Who This Course is for

This course is ideal for nurses, midwives, and nursing associates who have been referred to the NMC or are currently at any stage of the FtP journey. It is also highly valuable for union representatives, managers, or colleagues supporting a registrant through the process. Whether you have just received a notification of a concern or are preparing for adjudication, this course will help you understand the path ahead and what is required to demonstrate safe practice.
