Damning Review Exposes Toxic Culture at UK Nursing Regulator

Independent report reveals bullying, racism, and severe delays in handling misconduct cases at the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) took seven years to strike off a nurse accused of rape and sexual assault.
Staff at the NMC reported a 'hotbed of bullying, racism, and toxic behaviour' within the organization.
Six nurses committed suicide while under prolonged investigation by the NMC in the past year.
The NMC has a backlog of 6,000 cases, causing significant delays in resolving misconduct complaints.
NMC leadership promises a 'culture change programme' in response to the report's findings.
