What we offer
What NMCWatch does
We know it can be hard. Nurses and Midwives subject to FtP proceedings can often feel isolated. We seek to offer them emotional and peer support alongside legal guidance.
We aim to empower registrants to make the right choices.
We support them through their decision-making process.
Support services
Peer support group
Free online support to nurses and midwives via a closed Facebook page.
Peer support for those suffering from the effects of the process.
Linking to others in the same geographical area to give local support.
Signposting to other organisations that can assist.
SUpport services
Buddy scheme
This support scheme aims to reduce the isolation and take the fear out of talking about the FtP process.
Nurses and midwives can discuss their experiences confidentially with our Buddies, who have been through the process themselves and fully understand the impact.
Case support
Advocacy & Care
Our Advocacy program supports and guides you throughout the FtP process and helps you present your case effectively.
We also represent and advocate on your behalf when needed.
