Handy new video on revalidation
Nurses and midwives – click here for a helpful new video to guide you through the application process for revalidation.
Revalidation is a new requirement from the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), designed to promote good practice among nurses and midwives.
Every three years, nurses and midwives will have to revalidate by putting together the evidence to show that they meet the requirements for revalidation.
There will be a steady flow of staff revalidating each month from April this year – depending on when their NMC registration falls due. When it’s time to revalidate, staff will receive a letter or an email from the NMC, giving plenty of notice so they can gather their evidence together in good time.
With our support, the first of our nurses and midwives who are undertaking the new process – around 80 of them in all – are now working towards a fast-approaching deadline of 1 April.
Even if you’re not due to revalidate soon, it’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with the process and start preparing in advance of your deadline, so enjoy the clip.
