Charity launches webinar to support nurses and midwives facing fitness to practise investigations

In response to the growing need for emotional and psychological support for healthcare professionals undergoing Fitness to Practise (FtP) investigations, national charity, Nurse Lifeline are collaborating with NMCWatch and hosting a free webinar later this month.

The webinar has been developed in response to an urgent, identified need for support within the nursing community, positioning the event as a proactive step toward addressing this gap. Nurse Lifeline will be online to offer emotional and wellbeing tips, or signpost individuals for further support, to those professionals who are currently going through the investigation process, or those who have experienced it and require ongoing support.

The collaboration between the two parties comes from a recognition that registrants face immense stress, anxiety, and isolation whilst going through a Fitness to Practice process. These investigations can leave professionals feeling lost, overwhelmed, and uncertain about their future, impacting both their careers and mental wellbeing.
