The Committee considers cases where a nurse, midwife or nursing associate’s fitness to practise is alleged to be impaired due to:misconductlack of competencea conviction or caution for a criminal offencenot having the necessary knowledge of Englishphysical or mental healtha finding by any other health or social care regulator or licensing body that fitness to practise is impaired.Fitness to practise hearings are usually held in public to reflect our accountability to the public. The panel may agree to hold parts of or all of the case in private, to protect the anonymity of the alleged victim, or if confidential medical evidence is shared. In cases where a nurse, midwife or nursing associate’s fitness to practise is alleged to be impaired by reason of health then the hearing will be held in private due to the confidential nature of these cases. Panels decide whether a nurse, midwife or nursing associate’s fitness to practise is currently impaired. When making this decision, panels consider the standards expected of a registered nurse, midwife or nursing associate ordinarily working at that level of practice – not for the highest possible level of practice. Panels will also look at the standards and guidance set out by us. Even if there has been a breach of a standard set out in the Code or failure to follow guidance in the past, it does not automatically mean that a nurse, midwife or nursing associate’s fitness to practise is currently impaired. That is for the panel to decide, having considered any evidence regarding what has happened since the breach or failures occurred. Show less
