You didn't just help me get my career back but also got me fit by encouraging me to walk with you from the NMC building to our respective train stations. That's what one calls going the extra mile for your clients! Love you brother.

 

"I made the grave mistake of dealing directly with the NMC without any legal representation when a fitness to practice referral was made against me by my previous employer, following the restraint of a patient where it was alleged I used an unauthorised technique to restrain a patient with a well documented history of aggression that was been violent towards other patients and staff and, potentially posing a serious risk of injury to staff. Also, I had unknowingly been practising when my registration had lapsed during that period. Against this background, when I applied for re-admission to the register, the Registrar rejected my application to get back on the nursing register. Just to give some context to what I was thinking at that point, the news was devastating in all its facets. I had worked my way up to a ward manager position and had a nursing career spanning over two decades. I had never been in any sort of trouble throughout my professional life and I thought that was the end of my nursing career. It was at that point that I decided to seek some legal representation so as to be guided to appeal against the registrars decision to reject my application. But more importantly, to find someone that specialised in not just employment law, but specifically issues dealing with the NMC. In my consequent search of the internet, I found Marc Walker and What Rights. I read about the cases that he has helped numerous nurses and other professionals with. There was absolutely no doubt in my mind that I wanted to be represented by him at my appeal hearing .
My first contact with Marc was not just professional , but super reassuring. I was in pieces at that point and I couldn't have chosen a better person to speak to. He was attentive on the phone and very quickly gave me the impression that he had a very good grasp of the process involved. As I gave him a background of the case detailing the full account of what transpired , he was able to tell me right from the start that my case was not by any means hopeless and that I stood a very good chance to be readmitted to the register. In the ensuing weeks and months, his skilful guidance and preparation slowly helped to evaporate any doubts that I had about the case before I met him. My late night pondering moments will be marked by remarks from Marc on the phone like: "We go to the NMC to win" and "visualise success". These words were not only soothing but became my daily mantras. Marc, thank you so much for all your help. I encountered you at a time when I was almost about to give up on my career that I love dearly. I admired your calm demeanour, professionalism, attention to detail, fighting spirits, and just your sheer sense of genuineness and honesty. When I eventually met you, it was all too evident that you are the true professional I thought you would be when we spoke on the phone. I will never be able to fully thank you enough. You rescued my life, family, career, way of life and gave me an opportunity to have a fresh start. Thank you so much and may God bless you and your family. As you said, you didn't just help me get my career back but also got me fit by encouraging me to walk with you from the NMC building to our respective train stations. That's what one calls going the extra mile for your clients! Love you brother.

Your guidance was precise and was definitely the right advice

 

"Thank you for all your support.
It was extremely helpful that you offered to read all the information relating to our case before you gave advice on the matter. When you gave advice it was clear that you were both knowledgeable and experienced in dealing with such cases and you also had a good understanding of HCPC practices and procedures. Your guidance was precise and was definitely the right advice as I think the additional reflective statements you suggested played a big part in the positive outcome we received. I felt confident after our discussion and you responded quickly to all my emails - so in my view I received a very competent and valuable service from you!"
N.N., Middlesex, November 2018

I was never given a false idea that I would definitely be successful. But I was given honest, clear instruction that I had to meet the requirements of the application criteria and there was always a sense of positive hope."

 

"Thank you so much. I could not have gone through today without you. I have worked so hard the past 5 years but the reflection part I had not been able to to deal with until you said what had to be done. Only then I fully understood that I was responsible for my actions and the whole mess became very clear and understandable to me.

Because of that I was able to speak clearly and truthfully and make myself understood. I have a lot of work to do but the confidence I got from today will never go.

Thanks for taking on my case because I knew myself it was a long shot. What a difference 24 hours make.

I return to Manchester tomorrow and back to work and volunteering. I will be speaking to the universities next week and get that ball rolling. I will let you know how I get on.

I just thank god (or my own luck?) that I saw your website when I did and made contact. At first I did not believe it was really what I was reading because it was friendly to nurses and others who had been struck off or in trouble. I had never seen this in all my time of being struck off and the lack of contact with others who had been in trouble makes you feel so alone.

You do great work, thanks again."

"I didn't really appreciate how well the application and hearing went on Thursday. But I have had time to reflect on this, you were constantly calm, friendly, reassuring and professional. The pack which demonstrated what I had been doing was excellent and it focused on what I had achieved and I found your questions were easy to respond to when in front of the panel. Because of this I did not feel as intimidated as I had imagined. The calm advice on how to deal with the factor that could of gone against me was the turning point on how I dealt with the entire hearing.
From when I first contacted you, I was never given a false idea that I would definitely be successful. But I was given honest, clear instruction that I had to meet the requirements of the application criteria and there was always a sense of positive hope."

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Marc for his outstanding expertise, resulting in my case with HCPC being thrown out on the second of 3 days set to hear the matters.

 

“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Marc for his outstanding expertise, resulting in my case with HCPC being thrown out on the second of 3 days set to hear the matters. The allegation was around breach of confidentiality. Even before reaching this far, as soon as he received my papers about 2-3 months before the hearing, he moved fast and put forward a written submission in which he laid down clear points on why he believed I had no case to answer. His arguments were unfortunately rejected however this is what he had to say: “the flaws in the case against you remain [...] we will exploit them at the hearing itself.” A day before the hearing Marc confirmed that “I will be presenting your case. That means I will speak on your behalf at all times [...]. My goal is in fact to get the case dismissed with no case to answer at the end of the HCPC's evidence.” This is exactly what he did. I did not get to say a word, not even give evidence. It was amazing seeing him at work. He began with blocking an earlier attempt to introduce a different twist on my case, and was tactfully ready throughout to deal with any variation of the allegation. I saw him diligently, and calmly squeeze facts and truths out of the witnesses in a way that left you with no doubt that the case has to be brought to an end. In Marc I met someone who loves his work and this is obvious. A man who is very empathetic and understands what you may be going through. If you are dealing with a referral I cannot emphasise enough on the need to have your case dealt with by an expert, and in this case I recommend Marc. As mentioned above he will begin the fight straightaway and where appropriate, he will assess the case and try to avoid it going to a full hearing - potentially making you some savings and preventing you from the making that dreadful journey. I will add that his fees are very competitive. I got the sense that he truly enjoys seeing that justice is done and not delayed. At a time when you are feeling vulnerable, probably alone, emotionally drained, etc you need to rely on someone like that. Unfortunately my experience with my Union’s lawyer was pathetic and would go as far as saying when you are faced with a matter such as referral to HCPC, you should seriously consider ditching them for someone who has a real and genuine interest in delivering the best possible outcome for you. My union lawyer had stayed with my file for months, not even ringing me once which is 100% the opposite of working with Marc. Marc you did not just help me, you also inspired me and I will never forget you, thank you so much and all blessings to you.

The information I received was very helpful so it was a easy decision in asking Marc to represent me.

 

"I am a registered Nurse who has recently been involved in a NMC investigation for dishonesty, I found Marc Walker after searching for help on the internet and decided to contact him for advice on my ongoing case. The information I received was very helpful so it was a easy decision in asking Marc to represent me. We corresponded through mail, email and phone conversations during the case and good advice was always at hand, his prices are reasonable & Marc always tries for best outcome. In my case I was issued with a 12 month warning which was my best possible outcome, at last my 10 months of worry has gone. I would recommend Marc highly to anyone in positions like I found myself in. Many Thanks"

I spoke the first time with Marc. I knew then he was going to support and answer to my case in order to have the best outcome.

 

"Due to an investigation started from the NMC I needed some legal support in answering my case. After speaking with many solicitors firms I was only satisfied when I spoke the first time with Marc. I knew then he was going to support and answer to my case in order to have the best outcome. He has always been professional and reassuring, quick in the response and outstanding in the performance. All my anxiety went as soon as Marc explained exactly how he expected the case to go. The outcome: No case to answer. Marc has no competitors, I will recommend to anyone in need."
