Regulatory body insists it's on 'a journey of improvement'
Employment as a nurse or midwife depends on enrolment with the NMC in the UK. According to whistleblower evidence seen by, the databases on which the vital professional information is held lack rudimentary technical standards and practices.
The databases have no version control systems. Important fields for identifying individuals were used inconsistently – for example, containing junk data, test data, or null data – potentially impacting decisions on the careers of nurses and midwives relying on the NMC for registration. The current UK law for data protection – it is being updated – comes under the Data Protection Act 2018, which incorporates the EU's General Data Protection Regulation as UK GDPR.
"There is not even much by way of internal structure of the databases for self-documentation, such as primary keys, foreign keys , check constraints and table constraints. Even fields that should not be null are nullable. This is frankly astonishing and not the practice of a mature, professional organisation," the statement says.
