This is the second in a series of eight articles providing information about the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s (NMC) revalidation process. This article focuses on recording and providing evidence that you have practised for a minimum of 450 hours, or 900 hours if revalidating as both a nurse and midwife.
Revalidation is a mandatory process for nurses and midwives, enabling them to demonstrate their ability to practise safely and effectively.
Revalidation encourages nurses and midwives to stay up to date in their professional practice.
‘How to’ revalidate articles can help to update your practice and provide information about the revalidation process, including how you can record and evidence practice hours for revalidation. Reflect on and write a short account of:
Some of the direct, indirect and non-clinical practice activities you have undertaken over the past 3 years.
How you could provide evidence to support your practice hours.
