A notification from the Nursing and Midwifery Council is serious - but it is not the end. Nurses and midwives who respond early with genuine insight, targeted learning, and a credible remediation plan consistently achieve better outcomes. These courses are built to help you do exactly that.
Thousands of nurses and midwives face NMC fitness to practise concerns each year. What separates those who move forward is not the absence of what went wrong - it is the quality of their response. Genuine engagement, early action, and clear evidence of change are what NMC committees look for.
Each course is mapped to a specific area of The Code - the professional standard NMC applies in every fitness to practise case. Identify the category that matches the concern raised, then use the course descriptions to find what is most directly relevant to your situation.
Nurses and midwives reach for this category when their NMC concern involves a specific ethical failing - inadequate consent, breach of confidentiality, failure to act with honesty, or conduct that conflicts with the fundamental values of The Code.
When NMC concerns relate to ethics - consent failures, breach of confidentiality, or conduct that conflicts with the fundamental values of nursing and midwifery - this course addresses the specific Code provisions at issue. You work through the ethical principles underpinning The Code and trace how each applies when things go wrong.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsA broader grounding in applied healthcare ethics - useful when an NMC concern touches multiple ethical areas rather than one principle. Covers moral reasoning frameworks, real-world dilemmas, and how regulators assess ethical fitness.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsThe most comprehensive medical ethics course in our library. 2.5 CPD hours covering the full spectrum of ethical obligations facing nurses and midwives. Particularly relevant for serious NMC cases involving multiple ethical concerns.
CPD UK Certified · 2.5 CPD ptsWhere the Medical Ethics course covers principles, this covers practice - the daily ethical decisions nurses and midwives face and how to handle them well. Examines the grey areas where most NMC cases arise.
CPD UK Certified · 2.5 CPD ptsBoundary concerns are among the most common and serious issues in NMC cases. This course examines where professional boundaries lie, how they erode gradually, and what genuine boundary maintenance looks like.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsThe most common reason nurses and midwives face NMC concerns is conduct that falls short of professional standards - communication failures, documentation failings, attitude toward patients or colleagues, or behaviour that NMC considers incompatible with the values of The Code.
Built around The Code professional standards - the framework NMC uses to assess every nurse and midwife they investigate. Maps professional obligations to real clinical practice scenarios so you understand not just what The Code requires but what compliance looks like when regulators are watching.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsA grounding in professionalism across the healthcare context - useful when a NMC concern straddles conduct, teamwork, and general professional behaviour rather than one specific area.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsPoor record-keeping features in a significant proportion of NMC cases. This focused course examines what professional documentation requires - accuracy, completeness, timeliness - and the consequences when it falls short.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsCommunication failures underlie more NMC concerns than almost any other factor. This course examines what effective professional communication looks like and where it most commonly breaks down.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsNMC concerns about behaviour toward colleagues fall under the Working with Colleagues domain. This course examines what NMC expects and how to demonstrate genuine improvement.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsNMC probity concerns are among the most serious the Council investigates. They include dishonesty in documentation, failure to be open after an adverse event, inaccuracies in fitness to practise submissions, and financial misconduct.
Probity is the word NMC uses for honesty, integrity, and trustworthiness - covering everything from accurate form-completion to declarations to employers to financial conduct. If your letter from NMC mentions probity, this is where you start.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsWhen NMC concerns involve financial matters - prescribing patterns suggesting commercial influence, undisclosed private interests, or fee irregularities - this course addresses those specific obligations directly.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsThe duty of candour - the obligation to be open and honest when things go wrong - is central to NMC probity expectations. Failures in candour after adverse events are taken seriously. This course examines what candour actually requires.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsConfidentiality breaches generate a significant volume of NMC concerns. This course examines what confidentiality requires in practice, when it can lawfully be broken, and how to avoid the mistakes that lead to investigations.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsConsent issues - inadequate processes, failure to involve patients in decisions - are among the most common causes of NMC referrals. This course covers what valid consent requires and how chaperone obligations connect to it.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsFor nurses and midwives who want to understand the NMC process they are in, what genuine insight and remediation look like to a committee, and how to construct a response that actually engages with what NMC is assessing.
Of all the factors NMC evaluates in a remediation response, genuine insight matters most. This module explains what insight means in the regulatory context - not self-criticism, but demonstrable understanding of what went wrong, why it happened, and why it cannot happen again.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsReflection is a skill, not a natural instinct. This module teaches structured reflection - not vague statements about feeling remorseful, but analysis of what happened, what it means, and how your practice has changed as a result.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsRemediation is not just completing courses. It is a documented process of change that NMC can evaluate. This module explains what a robust response looks like - what to include, how to sequence it, and how to present it so examiners can see genuine improvement.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsA comprehensive overview of the fitness to practise framework - what triggers investigations, how cases are assessed, and what outcomes are possible. Useful for nurses and midwives who are new to the process and need to understand what they are dealing with.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsOne of the central questions in any NMC case is whether the same thing will happen again. This course builds the tools to answer that convincingly - identifying root causes, implementing personal safeguards, and documenting changes that reduce the risk of recurrence.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsBoundary concerns in nursing and midwifery - from inappropriate patient relationships to social media conduct - are treated seriously because they go directly to whether patients can be safe in a registrant's care.
Professional boundaries exist to protect patients - and nurses and midwives. When they are crossed, even gradually without deliberate intent, careers can end. This course examines where the lines are drawn and how to maintain them when the pressure to compromise is real.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsSocial media has created new categories of professional boundary violation. Inappropriate online conduct - from patient contact to public commentary on cases - generates NMC referrals as readily as conduct in the clinic.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsA NMC investigation damages trust. This course focuses on what genuine trust-rebuilding looks like - not performative gestures but sustained changes in behaviour that colleagues, employers, and patients can observe and verify.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsConcerns about discriminatory treatment, failure to maintain patient dignity, or biased professional conduct are taken seriously by NMC under professional standards and equalities law. This course examines what those obligations require.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsWhere concerns relate to clinical competence - errors in judgement, outdated practice, or knowledge gaps - this course addresses the competence domain of The Code and how to demonstrate competence has been restored.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsA credible remediation response is not a list of certificates. It is a structured body of evidence that tells a coherent story of genuine change.
Read your NMC notification carefully and identify which part of The Code the concern relates to. This determines which courses will be evidentially relevant to your response. If you are unsure, the Module on Insight is a good starting point for every case.
Select two or three courses most directly relevant to your concern and begin immediately. Early completion carries more evidential weight than certificates produced at the last minute. Access is instant on purchase.
Work through each course at your own pace. Note how the content relates to your specific situation as you go - these notes become your reflective statement. Your CPD UK certified PDF certificate is issued automatically on completion.
Combine certificates with a reflective statement, evidence of practice changes, and where appropriate, supervisor or employer reports. Submit directly with your NMC response or provide to your legal representative or defence organisation.
There are many CPD courses available. Most are designed for routine professional development. These courses are different - they are written specifically for nurses and midwives navigating Nursing and Midwifery Council fitness to practise investigations.
Every course in this library is aligned to a specific part of The Code. Your learning directly addresses the professional standard NMC has questioned in your case.
NMC response timelines are tight. Courses are available immediately on purchase and can be completed in a single sitting if needed. No waiting for enrolment windows or manual certificate processing.
All courses are certified by CPD UK - the standard measure of professional development accreditation. Certificates are in PDF format for direct submission to NMC, your solicitor, or your defence organisation.
Content does not describe professional standards in the abstract. It addresses standards as NMC applies them in investigations - what committees look for, how panels assess evidence, and what genuine compliance looks like under scrutiny.
Courses are priced individually at £45, £65, or £75 depending on CPD hours. Pay only for the courses you complete. No subscription, no recurring charge, no minimum spend.
FTP Courses exists because UK healthcare professionals facing regulatory investigations deserve more than generic CPD. They deserve targeted, evidence-based learning that directly addresses the standards their regulator is assessing - and they deserve it to be available immediately, when they need it most.
We built this platform specifically for nurses, nurses and midwives, dentists, pharmacists, and allied health professionals who have received a letter from their regulator and need to respond well. Every course is written for that specific purpose - not adapted from routine CPD, but built from the ground up for the regulatory context.
Our content is developed with awareness of how UK regulatory bodies assess insight, remediation, and professional fitness. We understand what case examiners look for, how panels evaluate evidence, and what genuinely good remediation looks like. That understanding shapes every word of every course.
FTP Courses was established with a single goal: provide UK-registered healthcare professionals with CPD that actually helps when they face regulatory concerns.
All courses were independently certified by CPD UK, establishing the accreditation standard that makes our certificates accepted as formal remediation evidence.
Coverage extended across all major UK healthcare regulatory bodies - NMC, NMC, GDC, GPhC, HCPC, GOC, GCC, GOsC, and Social Work England.
Over one thousand UK healthcare professionals have used FTP Courses as part of their regulatory remediation response. Our courses are regularly recommended by solicitors and defence organisations.
A dedicated platform making it faster and easier for professionals to identify the right courses, purchase securely, and access their learning immediately - with certificates issued on completion.
Verified experiences from UK-registered nurses and midwives who used FTP Courses as part of their NMC remediation response. Names and details shared with permission.
A complaint from a patient's family led to an NMC notification that shook me to my core. I found FTP Courses through my union rep. The Ethics and Reflection modules helped me understand exactly what NMC's case examiners look for. I submitted my response with four certificates and a detailed reflective statement. The case was closed without referral.
Facing an NMC concern about documentation was terrifying. The Professionalism in Documentation course addressed every single issue raised in the notification letter. My solicitor was impressed with how targeted the evidence was. I would recommend starting these courses the day you receive your letter - not the week before your hearing.
The insight and reflection modules completely changed how I approached my NMC response. Instead of a defensive letter, I submitted a genuine, structured analysis of what went wrong and what I had changed. The panel commented positively on the quality of my self-reflection.
Every week of inaction is a week of evidence you are not building. The most credible NMC responses start early, engage specifically with The Code, and present clear documentation of change. Your courses are available the moment you complete your purchase.
The following organisations publish the official standards and guidance that govern nurses and midwives in the UK. Reading the relevant guidance directly is strongly recommended if you are facing a NMC investigation.
