I have been working as a midwife/nurse for the last 5 years throughout this time I have come across senior management lying about an incident i was involved in and then 18mths later, a further incident happened, where lies were told and allegation made that were untrue, throughout this period I became ill and started mild panic attacks, To cut a long story short….I left under construtive dismissal 10 months ago, and because I left halfway through a supervised period, they have sent on my details to the NMC saying I am unfil to practise due to not completing the superised period. I cannot return to nursing/midwifery anyway as they have distroyed every bit of confidence I had, Can I sue?


As long as you have a documented history or work related time off and stress then yes probably.

Contact a lawyer that specializes in this type of case.
You need to get proper legal advice. Contact your Citizen’s advice bureau or the medical board. All I can say though is it will be a protracted process, if your health is weak at the moment don’t put yourself through it. Get well soon x
Why waste your time and money? Get a new profession and get on with your life!
I would say that it is difficult to get fired as a nurse, and I can’t imagine two people lying about incidents you were involved in. Most nurses are never reported for things because most are safe and competent.
I think you should cut your losses. You sound like a rubbish nurse.
you could have a case but if you had a nursing association that you had joined, then its best to contact them
Sue whom, and for what? From the tone and content of your question it appears that you are still “unwell”, or, to put it bluntly, unable to hack it. If you wish, go and speak to a lawyer for professional advice . . . .
Personally, I’d cut my losses and look for a less demanding career.
Try as soon as you can to document all “incidents” in which you were involved – dates ,days , times, people involved etc
If you were a member of any professional body contact them they should have a legal department.
I believe there is a time limit for taking action on constructive dismissal grounds
The
Yes but you should make sure you have plenty of irrefutable evidence to back your action. Have others working in the same department been treated unfairly and if so have THEY any evidence? You might get support from midwifery council or UNISON or whatever if you were a member. I speak as one who took early retirement largely because the trust I worked for had too much senior management and was too full of people telling me how to run my ward.
I’m not called Sue.
yeah go on. the NHS has got loads of money to spare hasn’t it??? If you can’t hack the job just admit it and stop looking for excuses!
sorry love, but there’s no smoke without fire.
