Nursing and Midwifery Council

And on that basis, she admitted they should never have taken on the review in the first place.

What should have happened, another member of her team told the inquiry, is Lucy Letby should have been suspended, referred to the Nursing and Midwifery Council and the police called in.

But we know, don't we, Caroline, that Ian Harvey didn't call in the police until almost a year after Baby O and Baby P died.

He was accused of not listening to the doctors, of misleading the people he asked to carry out those reviews, and of keeping key information from the coroner.

Mm.

"You're not allowed to have this knowledge." You know, we're seeing it, aren't we, with, in the UK, this kind of, this witch hunting attitude of the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

Like, "These are protected characteristics."

Yeah.

But it’s not just about raw spend.

There are a host of regulatory bodies like the General Medical Council that set standards for doctors across the UK and the Nursing and Midwifery Council that does the same for nurses.

Those bodies operate on a UK-wide basis, even though healthcare is devolved, meaning England’s system is tied to Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland in terms of professional oversight.

So policy changes can have ripple effects beyond the borders of each constituent country.

Nurses, on the other hand, do not take the Hippocratic Oath.

Instead, they must follow the Nursing and Midwifery Council, the NMC Code, which serves as their guiding ethical framework.

Similar to doctors who work under the oath, nurses are bound by this comprehensive set of standards that prioritises patient safety, dignity and respect.

The NMC code covers four main pillars.

But I would say that he probably manipulates prisoners.

Those are the people that he can manipulate and assert control over inside so it would be interesting to know what he's like if anybody works at the prison that he is incarcerated at please do let us know we do get people get in touch like that don't we so yeah be very interesting to know After the trial, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NH Trust issued an apology to the families of the victims, describing Norris's actions as disturbing, no shit, and acknowledging the immense trust he had violated as a healthcare provider.

In 2009, the Nursing and Midwifery Council quickly struck Norris off the medical register, taking only five minutes to reach their decision.

I'm amazed it took that long, but they have to go through that process.

And so this is where I'm going with every time I open my mouth now, I'm actually asking people to take it back home to basics.

Don't be pointing outside to, oh, but I'm asked to do this by the Nursing Midwifery Council or the GMC.

This is literally look in the mirror and actually ask yourself, if you're cutting open more women than you need to, like double the women, that you need to, can you sleep at night? And especially for us as midwives as well, we may not perform the surgery, but we load the women onto the conveyor belt.

We need to be able to ask ourselves, can I look at myself and honestly say that I'm with a woman when I'm performing in this way?

What do you mean?

According to the Nursing and Midwifery Council guidelines, The NMC patient confidentiality and the fundamental duty of care persist even if a patient is completely sedated and unconscious.

That makes sense.

In fact, it legally persists even after they die.
