Guidance to streamline your NMC Revalidation
Understanding the requirements for your NMC revalidation may be a bit daunting, and the challenge of collecting all of your proof is the next hurdle, so together with Staffshift, we are streamlining this process to benefit our staff, to maintain their registration with the NMC, and ultimately continue to fill the shifts which so desperately need you.
What is NMC Revalidation?
Every three years, nursing practitioners, associates and midwives need to re-validate their membership with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). This process includes providing several items to prove both clinical hours, ongoing training and dedication to their post. This is to maintain the highest level of service within the nursing industry, ensuring high-quality patient care across the UK.
Only professionals who are on the NMC register are permitted to practice as a nurse, midwife or nursing associate within the United Kingdom. The Register serves as a means to regulate the industry and ensure that the code is being adhered to.
The revalidation process is a series of forms and proof which needs to be submitted via an online application on the NMC Website. Here we explain the requirements, and how you can leverage our services and resources to streamline your NMC Revalidation.
What is the NMC Code?
The code is a set of guidelines which are laid out to ensure that professionals are consistently delivering a high level of service. These are the professional standards of practice and code of conduct for nurses, midwives and nursing associates. Below is a summary of the code, although you can get the full code, and guidelines to execute these points here.
What are the submission requirements for NMC Revalidation?
Over 3 years – this would run from your last revalidation or registration date, and your personal revalidation date can be checked by logging into the NMC online portal. You would be required to collect proof of the following items, which would need to be submitted together with your online application to validate your efforts, training and clinical hours.

What is the NMC Revalidation process?
Now that you understand all the requirements, and are actively collecting your evidence, you need to follow this procedure to complete your NMC Revalidation:
Understanding your due dates is of the utmost importance, as you need to know when you are personally required to submit your revalidation application. So firstly, log in to the NMC site, and check your revalidation date via your NMC online profile. If you don’t have a profile, simply create one to manage your NMC registration.
You will also receive a 60-day reminder or “Registration Renewal Notice”, leading up to the expiry of your registration. We recommend logging all training, hours worked and references as you gain these, as the 60-day period will pass very quickly, and without proper preparation, you may not manage to fulfil all requirements.
Login to your online NMC profile and start your renewal application
Provide all the evidence as outlined above.
Submit your application
Process payment of your fees
And lastly, you will confirm your renewal
Once you receive your confirmation of renewal, please upload this to Staffshift, to ensure your profile remains active and up to date.
