FIND PEER SUPPORT AT OUR LATEST WEBINAR
Thursday 19th September 2024 - 6.00 - 7.30pm
Navigating the Storm: Supporting the Nursing and Midwifery Community through Fitness to Practise Investigations.
This webinar has been created to support any nurse or midwife who is currently going through an NMC fitness to practise investigation and those who have experienced the process and require ongoing support. In collaboration with NMCWatch, we seek to support nurses, midwives and nursing associates (“registrants”) going through fitness to practice investigations.
Being investigated can be incredibly stressful, distressing and scary, with many nurses and midwives stating that they feel isolated, anxious, lonely, desperate, lost and 'in limbo'. The aim of this webinar is to provide a safe psychological space that is totally non-judgemental where nurses and midwives can come together to share their experience and top tips on how to survive the process whilst learning how to protect their emotional wellbeing and mental health. Most importantly, we want participants to take away the message that they are not alone and that there is always someone to reach out to even in their darkest hours.
