All Nurses and Midwives need to revalidate every 3 years in order to maintain their registration with the NMC.
Revalidation requirements
- 450 practice hours OR 900 if revalidating as both a nurse and midwife
- 35 hours CPD including a minimum of 20 hours participatory learning
- Five pieces of practice related feedback
- Five written reflective accounts
- Reflective discussion
- Confirmation with an approved confirmer
- Log on to your NMC online account and submit your revalidation
Revalidation promotes good practice across the whole population of nurses and midwives. It is NOT an assessment of a nurse or midwife's fitness to practice.
