The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is an organization that regulates midwives and nurses in the UK. The NMC sets professional standards, maintains a register, ensures quality education is being obtained, and investigates complaints against midwives and nurses. The interviewers want to know if a complaint has ever been filed against you as a midwife, and if so, the reason behind it and the outcome. Not all complaints filed with the NMC turn into regulatory action taken. First, the screening team will check to ensure the complaint meets the NMC's three-step requirements. If their requirements are unmet, and they deem the midwife poses no risk to the public, they will not take further action.
