How long do NMC Investigations Take?
NMC Investigation times vary, but are usually several months to conclusion and sometimes even years. This is not necessarily a reflection on the possible outcome but more on the volume of NMC Investigations. There are ways to utilise the delay to best support your case, and Regulation Resolution can assist with this.
Consider the case’s complexity, as it often directly correlates with the length of the NMC investigation.
Typically, investigations last no less than three months. An exception might include a situation involving a single criminal conviction (e.g., criminal damage) unrelated to workplace matters, where the NMC only needs to obtain a certificate of conviction and a case summary.
Complexity increases when there are multiple allegations, a wide variety of allegations, numerous potential witnesses, the need for medical testing, multiple defendants, media attention, sexual allegations, vulnerable witnesses, interactions with other agencies (e.g., police or coroner), and concurrent disciplinary investigations.
High-profile cases with significant media attention and involving numerous registrants can extend over several years. In most cases, investigations are concluded within a timeframe of six to nine months. The pandemic has considerably increased the delay with some cases taking a very long time.
