All nurses and midwives are currently required to renew their registration with their regulatory body, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) every three years, by meeting the council’s post-registration education and practice (PREP) standards.
Revalidation is the new process by which nurses and midwives will demonstrate that they practice safely. Revalidation will introduce new requirements that focus on:
- up-to-date practice and professional development;
- reflection on the professional standards of practice and behaviour as set out in the code; and
- engagement in professional discussions with other registered nurses or midwives.
The NMC piloted its proposals with a range of organisations and practice settings across the four countries of the UK, with full implementation in April 2016.
In preparation, UNISON is encouraging registrants to sign up to nmc.org.uk/nmc-online, as nurses and midwives will need an account for revalidation.
