Earlier this month, we held an all-Island leadership event for senior nurses and midwives.

The aim of the event was to enhance their knowledge and understanding of NMBI's fitness to practise process and their responsibilities in relation to concerns.

Attendees heard from our Director of Fitness to Practise, Orla Crowe, Director of Registration, Dr Ray Healy as well as Jeanne Tarrant, Fitness to Practise Officer, Christine Hughes, Professional Advisor and Niamh McDonald, Liaison Officer from the Fitness to Practise Department.

The event provided attendees with an overview of the fitness to practise complaints process. The presenters drew upon real life cases to illustrate the process and the possible outcomes.

Discussions also took place about the factors that should be considered when deciding to escalate a concern and make a complaint.

We would like to thank everyone who attended and our speakers who shared their valuable insights.
