Nurse revalidation policy

Quality assurance 

The revalidation discussions are integral to the annual performance and development appraisal process. The appraisal is a 'living document'. This will assure the organisation and support the nurses' clinical competence. 

Each directorate will keep an up-to-date electronic database of nurse registrants. Minimum information will need to include the: 

  • name of the nurse 
  • NMC pin 
  • annual re-registration date 
  • annual appraisal date (and completion) 
  • three-yearly revalidation (renewal) date 

The NMC may contact us regarding the declarations made in revalidation submissions. This is part of a selected NMC audit sample. We will share all appropriate information requested by the NMC. The nurse should raise any concerns with their line manager.
