“It is my pleasure to recommend Stephen McCaffrey to Nursing Professionals in need of legal advice and support on duty when issues arise in clinical practice”

NMC Defence Barristers assist another nurse with her disciplinary hearing and no onward referrals were made.

The nurse found herself in role with little guidance and put in a position where she was being asked to deal with managerial issues beyond her expertise. The case was based on a great deal of hearsay and subjective evidence however, it is a cautionary tale of ensuring that in a new role you are given the support induction you need.

“Their ability to understand my professional situation with limited time was exceptional and their response time was immediate.

“It is my pleasure to recommend Stephen McCaffrey & Catherine Stock to Nursing Professionals in need of legal advice and support on duty when issues arise in clinical practice.”

Stephen McCaffrey said in relation to this case: “Many Trusts will allow you legal representation at a disciplinary hearing regardless of their policy, especially for allegations which may lead to your dismissal.”
