Revalidation is the process that all nurses and midwives will need to go through in order to renew their registration with the NMC. Revalidation is required every three years. Revalidation presents proof of your Continuing Professional Development [CPD]. All information on this process can be found at : revalidation.nmc.org.uk

The Requirements : You must have undertaken 35 hours of continuing professional development (CPD) relevant to your scope of practice as a nurse, midwife, nursing associate or combination in the three year period since your registration was last renewed, or when you joined the register.
