The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) plays a key role in the ongoing quality assurance and regulation of the maternity services and its staff. Effective and efficient regulatory bodies are vital for ensuring better, safer care for maternity service users, and AIMS - on behalf of all maternity service users - thus seeks to keep their activities under close review and push for improvements to the maternity-related regulatory system as necessary.
The NMC have consulted on the public and stakeholders' opinions on the strategic direction for the NMC for 2020-2025. AIMS has drawn on our knowledge about women’s experiences of using maternity services, our understanding of the vital role of the NMC, and our knowledge of women's experiences of interacting with the NMC, to respond to this current consultation.
