Fitness to Practice (FTP)

The Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre FTP Support Services provides free practical support and advice to nursing and dental professionals under investigation by the Nursing Midwifery Council (NMC) and the General Dental Council GDC.

We are a student led service that provides assistance to those who do not have Union representation and cannot afford private legal support. The students are supervised and assisted by lawyers with fitness to practice experience.

We can provide assistance with:

• an NMC or GDC investigation;
• providing a response to NMC or GDC case examiners;
• help preparing for a fitness to practice hearing including an interim order application, interim order review, substantive hearing or substantive order review; and
• making a referral to solicitors or barristers who may be able to offer pro bono representation.

If the NMC or GDC have confirmed that you are under investigation, please contact us.

You can contact our service at any point in the NMC or GDC investigation, however the earlier in the investigation you make contact, the more likely that effective practical support and advice can be provided.
