When advanced nurse practitioner Pam Purewal is escorted out of a GP surgery during a CQC inspection in April 2019, she has no idea it will set off a six-year ordeal through the Nursing and Midwifery Council's fitness to practise process. Facing charges of working beyond her scope and — after a well-intentioned misstep — associated dishonesty, Pam endures suspension, workplace hostility, financial strain, and profound isolation, all while navigating personal losses including her mother-in-law's death and her husband's stroke. Shaped by the early loss of her own mother and a lifetime of determination instilled by immigrant parents, she refuses to walk away from the profession she loves. Her story is both a personal triumph and a compelling call for reform in how regulatory bodies support — rather than punish — the nurses they oversee.
