Introduction
• The Nursing and Midwifery Council, will not
take a formal decision on revalidation until
October this year. Until that time normal PREP
rules continue to apply.
• We are providing initial advise based on what
we know to date – we must stress its
provisional only.

Revalidation – what is it?
• Revalidation is the means by which Nurses,
Midwives & Health Visitors renew their
professional registration & demonstrate
compliance with the code of conduct. They
pay an annual registration fee but are required
to formally renew their professional
registration every 3 years.

Why is it changing?
• The previous system of PREP did not work and was
old.
• The NMC were supposed to audit annually 10% of
portfolios, which they didn't do. When they did do
this it cost almost £350 per portfolio.
• As you can appreciate this was very costly, as a result
they are seeking to introduce a new system, which is
current and does not lead to an increase in
registration fees.

Confirmation
• You will need to demonstrate to a third party that you have met the
revalidation requirements.this
• You will need to have a confirmation discussion with a third party where
you demonstrate how you have met the revalidation requirements. This
can form part of an annual appraisal.
• An appropriate third party confirmer is your line manager. We recommend
that you obtain confirmation from this person wherever possible. A line
manager does not have to be an NMC registered nurse or midwife.
• If you do not have a line manager, we recommend that the third party is
an NMC-registered nurse of midwife. If that is not possible, you can seek
confirmation from another healthcare professional that you work with and
who is regulated in the UK.
