Information

The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is the UK regulator for the professions of nursing and midwifery and thus maintains a register of all nurses, midwives and specialist community public health nurses who are eligible to practise within the UK. The NMC sets standards for education, training and professional conduct. To work in the UK all nurses, midwives and specialist community public health nurses must register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and renew their registration regularly: www.nmc-uk.org

The standards for pre-registration nursing education are set by the NMC:

NMC (2004) Standards for proficiency for pre-registration nursing education. London: NMCv

The standards reflect the requirements of the European Community (EC) Second Nursing Directive 77/453/EEC (updated by 89/595/EEC) in relation to those intending to register as adult nurses.

The NMC has set the level of learning for the achievement of the identified proficiencies at a minimum of diploma of higher education standard. Students can undertake either a diploma or degree level educational programme, leading to initial registration.

An essential condition of entry to the profession is the acceptance and internalisation of the Code that all registered nurses and midwives must uphold.
