Our Interim Director of Fitness to Practise, Yvanne Kennedy recently spoke at the HSE Midwest Acute Hospital, Assistant Director of Nursing and Midwifery (ADONM) Conference.

In her presentation, Yvanne highlighted the important work NMBI is doing to ensure we are a more supportive and compassionate regulator. She also outlined how the Code and maintenance of professional competence guide registrants in their practice. Through the Compassion Project, we are actively taking steps to improve the fitness to practise process, and we continue to develop supports for registrants and for those assisting with the process.

The conference, held in University Hospital Limerick, was an opportunity to share knowledge about local and national projects affecting nursing and midwifery in the Midwest. Attendees also heard from one of the keynote speakers, Rachel Kenna, Chief Nursing Officer at the Department of Health.
