Since 2016, the Nursing and Midwifery Council policy on revalidation requires that nurses demonstrate their fitness to practice effectively and safely. This is meant to protect the quality of healthcare services provided to clients and patients. We fully support this initiative and require evidence of revalidation before hiring nurses on behalf of our clients.

What do you need to do?

• Create an account with the NMC if you don’t have one. ( Create NMC account / Login )
• Submit revalidation necessary documents to the NMC and complete the revalidation process. ( Find out how it works)
• If you have completed revalidation, attach evidence of validation to your application.

What is Revalidation?

• it is the process that allows you to maintain your registration with the NMC
• demonstrates your continued ability to practise safely and effectively, and
• is a continuous process that you will engage with throughout your career.

Revalidation is your responsibility

You are the owner of your own revalidation application. The NMC recommends that you work towards meeting the revalidation requirements throughout the three year revalidation period so you are prepared when your application is due.

Purpose of revalidation

• to raise awareness of the Code and professional standards expected of you
• to provide you with the opportunity to reflect on the role of the Code in your practice as a nurse, midwife or nursing associate and demonstrate that you are ‘living’ these standards
• to encourage you to stay up to date in your professional practice by developing new skills and
• understanding the changing needs of the public and fellow healthcare professionals
• to encourage a culture of sharing, reflection and improvement
• to strengthen public confidence in the nursing and midwifery professions
• to encourage you to engage in professional networks and discussions about your practice.
