The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) plays a key role in regulating the nursing profession, with one of the primary methods being the 'fitness to practise' process. Although the percentage of nurses who undergo this process is very small, the NMC has a responsibility to protect, promote and maintain public health, safety and wellbeing, while ensuring public confidence in the nursing services provided. This article analyses a community-oriented fitness to practise case, exploring its progression and considering the impact on the registrant from both practical and psychological perspectives. Additionally, it examines the support systems available to nurses undergoing investigations and the importance of reflective practice in maintaining professional standards.
