This list gives the basic information about each case that we have been involved with in recent years. Due to the sensitive nature of what we do, and unless otherwise indicated, we have kept the information anonymous and brief to enable those we support to move on with their lives, with as little intrusion as possible.

  • April 2023 – Advocacy and Buddy program mentored to submission of supporting evidence of professional practice – found no longer impaired and suspension order allowed to expire. Read the case study.
  • March 2023 – Advocacy and Buddy program mentored to submission of supporting evidence of professional practice – no interim order placed. Case closed at screening with no further action.

  • January 2023 – attended an interim order hearing, where NMC was aiming for an Interim Suspension order. Advocacy and Buddy program mentored to submission of supporting evidence of professional practice – Interim Conditions of Practice implemented
  • November 2022 – following a strike-off in 2011 we successfully helped a nurse apply for restoration to the register. She was restored with a stipulation to undertake a Return to Practice course
  • November 2022– 13 months from referral nurse has case closed, with no case to answer outcome but warning placed on record for 3 years.
  • October 2022 – a nurse referred anonymously on grounds of clinical incompetence. We supported her in submitting the appropriate response and evidence and her case was closed at screening
  • October 2022 – we assisted this nurse to join the employment pilot and she worked for a year with a trust that we linked her to in order to achieve her CoP requirements. Previously the RCN told her she could not request an early review but we felt she could as she completed everything 2 months before the order was due to finish. With our support and good representation of learning, she got the CoP lifted with immediate effect and wished well with her future career from the NMC
