Why revalidation?
• PREP has become discredited
• Care scandals at Mid Staffs and elsewhere
• No assurance to the public that nurses and midwives are
keeping their knowledge and skills up to date
Key changes
• Requirement to write ‘reflective accounts’ based on
feedback you receive, your CPD or events in practice
• Reflective discussion with another registrant
• Confirmation from your manager that you have complied
Who’s affected?
• Every nurse and midwife on the NMC register – that’s
680,000 people
• Everyone re-registering with the NMC from April 2016
• Students need to start preparing now...
Six steps to revalidation
1. Practice
2. Continuing professional development (CPD)
3. Reflective accounts and discussion
4. Appraisal
5. Confirmation
6. Revalidation
Step 1: practice
• 450 hours in practice every three years
• All practice that involves a nursing or midwifery qualification
counts, including unpaid work
• Those with a dual registration as nurses and midwives still
have to complete 900 hours (450 in each profession)
