This question was answered on 21st February 2018
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is the independent regulator of nurses and midwives in the United Kingdom. If a complaint is made to the NMC about a registered midwife who may not meet the professional standards required to practise in the UK, the NMC has a duty to investigate and, where necessary, take action to safeguard the health and well-being of the public.
