Can new NMC boss make nurse fitness to practise process fair?

The new Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) interim chief executive Paul Rees should work with nurses’ unions to transform the UK nursing regulator’s culture and performance, a union leader has urged. An independent review found the organisation has a toxic culture that poses risks for nurses, nursing associates and public safety. The founder of a nurses’ campaign group shares doubts about what the new head can achieve during a one-year interim term, given the scale of improvement required in the NMC’s fitness to practise processes.
