Revalidation of your NMC registration(insert branch name)
Introduction
• The Nursing and Midwifery Council, will not take a formal decision on revalidation until October this year. Until that time normal PREP rules continue to apply.
• We are providing initial advise based on what we know to date – we must stress its provisional only.

Revalidation – what is it?
• Revalidation is the means by which Nurses, Midwives & Health Visitors renew their professional registration & demonstrate compliance with the code of conduct. They pay an annual registration fee but are required to formally renew their professional registration every 3 years.

Code of Conduct
• 31st March 2015• You will have to
evidence reflection and practise against the code of conduct.

Why is it changing?
• The previous system of PREP did not work and was old.
• The NMC were supposed to audit annually 10% of portfolios, which they didn't do. When they did do this it cost almost £350 per portfolio.
• As you can appreciate this was very costly, as a result they are seeking to introduce a new system, which is current and does not lead to an increase in registration fees.

Confirmation• You will need to demonstrate to a third party that you have met the
revalidation requirements.this• You will need to have a confirmation discussion with a third party where
you demonstrate how you have met the revalidation requirements. This can form part of an annual appraisal.
• An appropriate third party confirmer is your line manager. We recommend that you obtain confirmation from this person wherever possible. A line manager does not have to be an NMC registered nurse or midwife.
• If you do not have a line manager, we recommend that the third party is an NMC-registered nurse of midwife. If that is not possible, you can seek confirmation from another healthcare professional that you work with and who is regulated in the UK.
