If you or someone you know is facing professional conduct proceedings by the NMC, we may be able to help.

We can help with:

  • Understanding your legal position
  • Finding options for free legal representation
  • Preparing documents and materials for a panel hearing
  • Reviewing panel findings and the application of the law
  • Reviewing whether your hearing could be considered to have been unfair
  • Helping you to understand a negative panel finding
  • Helping you to understand the appeal process and options that may be available to you.

Even if proceedings have already started, we can still support you or help with a new application.
