As a member of the A24 Group your active registration is of the utmost importance to us and we would therefore like to raise the awareness of this process and offer our support. What is revalidation? Revalidation is the process that allows you to maintain your registration with the NMC. It is a continuous process to demonstrate your ability to continue to practice safely. Every three years all nurses and midwives will be asked to apply for revalidation using the NMC online system as a means of keeping their registration active. Completing the revalidation process is your responsibility as the registered nurse, however the A24 Group will assist where applicable.

NMC step-by-step guide to revalidate NMC document templates for revalidation The first registrants to be called upon to submit evidence of their portfolio would be in April 2016 (approximately). A sample of nurses and midwives will be selected at random to verify the declaration they have made and they will have to provide evidence according to the above required items. We are assisting agency workers with appraisals, which can be used as part of your portfolio to submit for revalidation, as well as issuing you with feedback forms, which you can take to clients you are working at for the agency in order to get practice-related feedback. You can then send this back to us and we will load this onto your agency profile for safe keeping. Ensure all evidence of client feedback is verifiable with either a stamp, letterhead or complimentary slip.
