Dear all,
I would like to make you aware of two opportunities for lay people to become involved in the regulatory work of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
Lay Panel Members
We are looking for lay people to join our team of Fitness to Practise Panelists. Fitness to Practise Panels consider allegations of impairment of fitness to practise made against nurses and midwives on grounds including misconduct, lack of competence and ill health.
Local Supervising Authority Reviewers
We are looking to appoint lay people as Local Supervising Authority (LSA) Reviewers. In this role you will be required to undertake reviews of Local Supervising Authorities, to see if they meet NMC standards for the supervision of midwives.
For information about both of these opportunities, or to apply, please copy and paste the following link into your browser – http://www.nmcrecruitment.com/
At present there is no closing date for either of these positions. However, a deadline for the receipt of applications will be posted on our website in the near future.
Please forward this information to anyone who you think may be interested in applying for either of these positions.
Kind regards,
Marie Saldanha
Assistant Consultation and Public Involvement Officer

To have your say on pre-registration nursing education, take part in our consultation by 8 February. http://www.nmc-uk.org/aArticle.aspx?ArticleID=2641
