The progress and outcomes of black and minority ethnic (BME) nurses and midwives through the Nursing and Midwifery Council's fitness to practise process This research, carried out by the University of Greenwich, explores the progress and outcomes of BME nurses and midwives going through the NMC's fitness to practise process. The findings highlight that BME staff are more likely to be referred to the NMC than their white counterparts but that BME staff are less likely to be struck off or suspended.
