The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) have finalised the revalidation process for nurses and midwives in order to remain on the register. As an integral part of our organization we would like to clarify and remind you of your obligation as a registered healthcare professional to ensure that your registration remains active.

As a member of the A24 Group your active registration is of the utmost importance to us and we would therefore like to raise the awareness of this process and offer our support.

What is revalidation?

Revalidation is the process that allows you to maintain your registration with the NMC. It is a continuous process to demonstrate your ability to continue to practice safely.

Every three years all nurses and midwives will be asked to apply for revalidation using the NMC online system as a means of keeping their registration active.

Completing the revalidation process is your responsibility as the registered nurse, however the A24 Group will assist where applicable.

What’s Required and how we will be able to offer our support:

450 practice hours for a nurse and midwife or 900 hours if practicing as both.
