Nursing and Midwifery Council revalidation
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) have introduced revalidation for all nurses and midwives in the UK: the most significant change to regulation in a generation.
Revalidation means that everyone on the NMC register will have to demonstrate on a regular basis that they are able to deliver care in a safe, effective and professional way. All nurses and midwives will have to show they are staying up to date in their practice and living the values of the NMC Code, by reflecting on their practice and engaging in discussions with colleagues. For the first time, they will also have to obtain confirmation that they have met all the requirements before they apply to renew their place on the register every three years.
Nearly 16,000 nurses and midwives will be the first to revalidate in April 2016. All 685,000 nurses and midwives on the NMC’s register will go through the new process as their registration becomes due for renewal over the course of the next three years.
The NMC have published the following guidance to help people understand the changes:
- How to Revalidate guidance for nurses and midwives
- A guide for employers
- Information for confirmers.
