    NMC "recommission" Ijeoma Omambala KC whistleblower report
    Jul 18 2025
    Is this the NMC trying to bury more bad news (the week before parliament go on holiday)? The NMC has "recommissioned" the report that Ijeoma Omambala KC started in November 2023 - 20 months ago. Is this the NMC dragging their heals again? Have they even bothered trying to make any of the changes the Rise Associates report recommended last year? Want to know what a reverse ferret is? It's all in this short but sharp episode of the NMCWatch Podcast.

    Apr 8 2025

    This is Part 2 of Cathryn's chat with Laura Hindle about her successful appeal hearing against the NMC.

    They talk about NMC accountability and how frustrating it can be to deal with them. They also talk about the challenges Laura faced during her case and the support she got from both her legal team at the RCN, as well as NMCWatch.

    The conversation then broadens out talking about process and accountability changes needed at the NMC.

  • Our Buddy scheme

    Our Buddy scheme
    Sep 25 2023

    Cathryn speaks to three people who help make the Buddy Scheme at NMCWatch a functioning, unique and extraordinary service.


    They talk about why the scheme is so necessary. How it helps nurses and midwives get through FTP and how it helps the Buddies themselves move on from their own FTP experiences - therapy for the therapists, you might say.


    So, have a listen, and if it moves you to want to become a Buddy, do get in touch with us as we’re always looking for more people to join us.
