Currently on the Nursing and Midwifery Council register but not working as a Nurse or Midwife?

It is now more important than ever, that you stay connected to your nursing or midwifery profession, even if you are not currently working as a nurse or midwife. To be able to renew your NMC registration each year, you must declare that you have:

  • maintained your recency of practice;
  • met your continuing professional development obligations.

Making a false declaration is against the law.

Think very carefully before letting your NMC registration lapse.

Renewing your Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) registration

Once your NMC registration has lapsed, you are not automatically entitled to get it back. It may be complicated to become re-registered, even if you have only been off the register a very short time.

Rejoining the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) register

If you have previously been on the NMC register and your registration has lapsed, you will need to apply for readmission.

Information on rejoining the NMC register can be found at https://www.nmc.org.uk/registration/returning-to-the-register/
