Course description

This module explains the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) registration process. It describes what individual nurses and midwives have to do to achieve revalidation. By completing the time out activities included in this module, reflecting on your practice and submitting your work for continuing professional development credits, you will be working towards creating a revalidation portfolio, in accordance with NMC guidelines.

Don't forget that you do not have to complete our two-hour learning modules all in one go. Tailor your learning to fit into your busy schedule by undertaking one or two sections at a time. You can stop and save your learning at any point and pick up where you left off when you return.
