Complaints about nurses or midwives

As part of its aim of protecting the public, the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland is legally responsible for considering complaints against nurses and midwives who practise in Ireland.

We receive complaints from members of the public, employers and health care professionals as well as nurses and midwives who have concerns about their colleagues.

Our Fitness to Practise department aims to deal with all complaints fully, fairly and in accordance with the legislation which gives us our regulatory powers.
