Nurse revalidation policy

Disputes

Revalidation is not: 

  • an assessment of a nurse's fitness to practise 
  • an alternative way to raise fitness to practise concerns  

Any such concerns must remain separate from the revalidation process. These should be reported through the appropriate line management. They will be managed in line with our policies.

We will address any false declarations made during the revalidation process in line with our policies. 

Late submission of applications might result in temporary removal from the NMC register. The nurse will not be able to undertake their full duties. The nurses will be managed in line with our policies if: 

  • temporarily removed from the NMC register, and
  • where NMC registration is essential criteria to their contractual duties
