A barrister has been appointed to try and look deeper into the allegations against the NMC. If you work with a nursing recruitment agency, or as carers seeking care jobs then one thing you need to know is that a lot of the allegations are serious. If you are with a nurse agency, then you should know that they are looking into how whistleblowers have been treated over the years. The NMC today have announced that they have appointed Omambala KC to carry out the investigations. They also want to try and give support to the nursing regulator over the coming months. Of course, at the end of the day, an external investigation has to be done so that people can find out more about what has happened while making sure that people’s concerns are responded to. A series of articles that have been published have said that the NMC is failing to handle things properly and that more has to be done here. They want to give more support to nurses who might have been accused of sexual abuse as well as racial discrimination.

At the end of the day, a diverse group of colleagues is being put together to help form part of the culture and they are also doing what they can to share their own experiences. Suggestions are being put together to try and suggest things with the regulator’s council. From there, it seems that an independent investigator is going to be appointed to carry out the rest of the investigation. At the end of the day, they have said that they are sorry about the culture and the regulatory decisions that they are having to make. They do understand that they need to have a rigorous and transparent response to the concerns that they have too.
