NMC – appraisal, revalidation, and CPD

If you are a nurse, midwife or nursing associate, you are required to revalidate with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) every 3 years. It’s an essential part of remaining on the register, maintaining good practice, and ensuring that you remain accountable for your professional conduct.
