The power of social media - with 35.2k views on our post there have been so many comments and stories showing how far reaching this issue is. Sadly nothing new to us as we support those going through FtP every day....

"I had such a terrible experience with the NMC. I was referred for ftp without justification. It broke me"

"They ignored us when we tried to stick up for colleagues"

" At this point, I'm not even sure what we pay our fees for"

" If someone has done something wrong, it should be kept confidential. Some nurses are good and kind, but mistakes happen, they should not be treated like criminals"

"they don't care, it's buisness"

" we listen to lived experience in practice why don't public bodies listen to the people affected by the NMC"

" who regulates the NMC for quality and governance?"

" As a governing body they fall short of their responsibilities. They are no longer fit to protect the public or maintain the register"

" I did get my registration back but the stress impacted so much on my mental health I never returned to nursing."
