Fitness to practise will be fit for the future
Nursing Standard (Royal College of Nursing (Great Britain) : 1987)
|November 30, 2016
Summary
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) frequently appears in news reports, primarily concerning the results of its fitness to practise hearings.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare regulation
- Professional standards
- Nursing and midwifery practice
Background:
- The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is the independent regulator of registered nurses, midwives, and nursing associates in the UK.
- Public and media attention often focuses on the NMC's regulatory functions, particularly fitness to practise (FtP) proceedings.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the nature and trends of media coverage concerning the NMC.
- To understand the primary focus of news reporting related to NMC's fitness to practise hearings.
Main Methods:
- Content analysis of media reports mentioning the NMC.
- Categorization of coverage based on key themes, with a specific focus on FtP outcomes.
Main Results:
- The majority of media coverage concerning the NMC pertains to the outcomes of its fitness to practise hearings.
- Analysis reveals a consistent pattern of reporting centered on disciplinary proceedings and public protection.
Conclusions:
- Media reporting significantly shapes public perception of the NMC, largely through the lens of its regulatory and disciplinary functions.
- Understanding these coverage patterns is crucial for transparent communication and public trust in the nursing and midwifery professions.

Most altruistic behavior—in which one animal helps another at a cost to themselves—occurs between relatives. Scientists think these altruistic behaviors evolved because they increase the inclusive fitness of the animal providing help.

01:27Exercise and Muscle Performance
2.9K
Exercise induces a range of adaptations in muscle tissue, depending on the type and duration of activity. Such physical training can be broadly categorized into two types: endurance exercises and resistance exercises.
Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...

01:22Design Consideration
615
Designing a structure involves a series of considerations, primarily the material's ultimate strength, calculated through tests that measure changes under increased force until the material reaches its breaking point or limit. The ultimate load, where the material breaks, is divided by its original cross-sectional area, resulting in the ultimate normal stress or strength. The ultimate shearing stress is another significant factor taken into account.

01:21Fatigue
926
Fatigue occurs when materials rupture under repeated or fluctuating loads, even at stress levels far below their static breaking strength. It typically results in brittle failure, even for ductile materials. It is a critical consideration in designing machines and structural components subjected to repetitive or varying loads. The nature of these loadings can range from fluctuating loads like unbalanced pump impellers causing vibrations to repeatedly bending a thin steel rod wire back and forth...

01:22Fatigue Strength of Concrete
638
Fatigue, in the context of materials science and engineering, refers to the weakening or failure of a material caused by repeatedly applied loads, even if these loads are below the strength limit of the material. Fatigue strength in concrete is a critical property that influences its durability and longevity. Concrete can fail in two ways due to fatigue. Static fatigue or creep rupture occurs under a constant load or one that increases slowly. The other failure mode is due to cyclical or...

01:10Work and Energy for Variable Forces
5.9K
When an object is acted upon by a variable force, the amount of work done and the change in energy of the object can be more complex to calculate compared to when a constant force is applied. Work is the product of force and displacement, while energy is the capacity of a system to do work. When a constant force is applied to an object, the work done can be calculated as the product of the force and the distance moved in the direction of the force. However, when a variable force is applied, the...
