The Nursing and Midwifery Council has launched ‘Careline’ for registrants going through the FTP process. The new service will operate 365 days a year, offering emotional support to nurses, midwives and nursing associates. Registrants can access structured counselling sessions, delivered either face to face in a counsellor’s consulting room, via phone or Skype, or online using email or a secure chat room. NMC chief executive Andrea Sutcliffe said the service marks another step forward in ‘humanising’ how the organisation operates.
