Nursing and Midwifery Council registration fee
In November Nursing and Midwifery Council registration rukes changed. It is now the case that practice nurses who have not paid their 2015 registration renewal fee and submitted their renewal documents will have their registration lapse automatically. This means they would not be able to practice until re-registered, which can take two to six weeks. To avoid this, fees and documents need to be submitted now, in order to have registration confirmed by the end of the year (31 December).
This is separate to the new nurse revalidation requirements, which come in to effect in April 2016. Our guide to revalidation can be found here.
