Talk:Nursing and Midwifery Council

WP:NURSE priority review
As part of a review of all nursing wikiproject articles, I have changed this article's importance to low per WikiProject Nursing/Assessment. I have also added stub class. If you disagree, please leave a note here so we can discuss it. Cheers, Basie (talk) 05:11, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Discussion
I feel this page's importance needs re-appraisal, as does the stub class. I have updated the page to reflect recent high-profile media events. These also add to the historical context of this important UK organisation. Referencing has been improved, and some remedial formatting issues dealt with. There is further scope here for much valuable work, i.e. see GMC wiki for comparison. En-Sea (talk) 18:20, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Proposed changes to the page
The communications team at the NMC is proposing the following changes to the page. These explain the revised Code and revalidation. They replace the current sections on setting standards and revalidation:

Setting standards

The NMC’s revised code became effective on 31 March 2015. The code contains professional standards of practice and behaviour that all nurses and midwives must keep to.

Four key sections describe what nurses and midwives are expected to do:

•	prioritise people •	practise effectively •	preserve safety, and •	promote professionalism and trust.

The Code was updated to reflect changes in healthcare and society since its last publication in 2008. The updates include new requirements on the fundamentals of care, the duty of candour, raising concerns and social media use.

The introduction to the code states: “When joining our register, and then renewing their registration, nurses and midwives commit to upholding these standards. This commitment to professional standards is fundamental to being part of a profession. We can take action if registered nurses or midwives fail to uphold the Code. In serious cases, this can include removing them from the register. The Code should be useful for everyone who cares about good nursing and midwifery.”

Revalidation

The NMC has committed to developing and implementing a system of revalidation.

Nurses and midwives will need to renew their registration every three years. They will need to confirm that they:

•	continue to remain fit to practise by meeting the principles of the revised Code •	have completed the required hours of practice and learning activity through continuing professional development •	have used feedback to review and improve the way they work, and •	have received confirmation from someone well placed to comment on their continuing fitness to practise.

The NMC ran a public consultation on how revalidation can be applied in practice from January to March 2014. Pilots involving over 2,000 nurses and midwives across the UK will inform the final plans. Revalidation for nurses and midwives will start from late 2015. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.68.72.158 (talk) 13:47, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
