  1. NMC revalidation and Code reviewEmployer briefing

  2. About the NMC • The NMC protects patients and the public by regulating nurses and midwives • We set standards of education, conduct and performance for nurses and midwives. • We maintain the register of those qualified to meet those standards • Largest professional healthcare regulator – c.670,000 registrants

  3. What is revalidation? • The process by which registered nurses and midwives will demonstrate to the NMC that they continue to remain fit to practise. • Revalidation will take place every three years at the point of renewal of registration. • It aims to protect the public, increase public confidence in nurses and midwives and helps those on the NMC’s register to meet the standards required of them. • Different approach to GMC and doctors – current legislation does not permit responsible officers.

  4. What is the Code? • The NMC Code is the foundation of good nursing and midwifery practice and applies to everyone on the register, regardless of their scope of practice or setting. • It sets out in broad terms the standards of good nursing and midwifery practice which the public and the professions can expect of nurses and midwives. • To support and prepare for revalidation the NMC is also consulting on revising the Code.

  5. What nurses and midwives will need to do… • Every three years every registered nurse and midwife will need to declare they: • continue to remain fit to practise. • Meet the required hours of practice and continuing professional development (CPD). • Have reflected on the revised Code and standards and continue to follow them. • Have received third party confirmation of their continuing fitness to practise and adherence to the Code from someone well placed to comment. • Are using practice related feedback from patients, colleagues and others to improve their quality of care.

  6. When will nurses and midwives need to start revalidating? • From December 2015, all nurses and midwives who are due to re-register at that point will start using revalidation. • This means that by December 2018, everyone on the register would have revalidated. • In spring 2015, ‘early implementers’ will test revalidation operationally before it applies to all those on the register. • Before that, NMC guidance specific to revalidation will be published by the end of December 2014.

  7. Have your say – NMC consultation on revalidation and the Code review • The NMC wants to hear from nurses and midwives from all the four countries and those who employ, manage, train and represent them, on: • Ways in which nurses and midwives can obtain confirmation of their continuing fitness to practise by someone well placed to comment • How best to measure the quality of continuous professional development • Using practice related feedback to improve standards of care • How revalidation can meet the needs of an individual’s scope of practice or setting • The look, feel and content of a revised Code

  8. Have your sayTo take part in the NMC consultation go to…. • http://www.nmc-uk.org/revalidation-survey • The online survey closes on 31 March • Your views can shape how these changes go forward so make sure your voice is heard.

  9. What happens next? • This online survey is part one of a two part consultation. Part one closes on 31 March 2014 • Part two will use the findings from part one to produce a draft revised Code and guidance for revalidation • From mid-May 2015 the NMC will start its part two consultation on the draft revised Code and revalidation guidance – details on how to take part will follow later at http://www.nmc-uk.org/revalidation

  10. January 2014: consultation part 1 • May 2014: start of consultation part 2 • December 2014: publication of revised Code and guidance for revalidation • Spring 2015: revalidation process – early implementers • From end of 2015: revalidation applied to those registrants renewing from that point onwards Key stages

  12. on-line survey consultation themes

  13. Third-party confirmation of continuing fitness to practice • In the proposed revalidation model, the nurse or midwife will be required to declare they have received confirmation from someone well placed to comment on a nurse or midwife’s practice. This confirmation will be based on the revised NMC Code (the standards for good nursing and midwifery practice). • Survey questions addressing this are: • Q3, Q4, Q6, Q7, Q8, Q9, Q10

  14. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) • In the proposed revalidation model, CPD will form a vital part of revalidation. This section of the survey looks at how CPD could be measured and what would be an appropriate amount of activity. • Survey questions addressing this are: • Q11, Q12

  15. Practice related feedback for nurses and midwives • In the proposed revalidation model, nurses and midwives will need to reflect on the feedback they receive and how they can use it to improve or confirm their practice. • Survey questions addressing this are: • Q13, Q14, Q15, Q16, Q17, Q18

  16. Audit • In the proposed revalidation model, an audit process will select nurses and midwives to assess that they continue to befit to practise. Nurses and midwives, if selected, will be required to present documented evidence to the NMC for assessment. • Survey questions addressing this are: • Q19, Q20, Q21

  17. Scope of Practice for Nurses • A definition for midwives has already been stated by the NMC, and we are investigating the opportunity to clarify the definition of nursing. • Questions addressing a proposed definition are: • Q22, Q23

  18. The Code • The Code will be the standards on which revalidation will be based. • The following questions are designed to gather views that will help us draft a revised Code. We will be consulting on this draft in part two of this consultation in mid-2014. • Q24 – Q38

  19. Outcomes • This question of the survey considers how the aspects of the revalidation model – self-declaration, third party confirmation, third party feedback, CPD and hours of practice requirements could improve standards of practice on a continuing basis. • Questions addressing this are: • Q39, Q40, Q41, Q42

  20. “About you” • The final section of the survey covers information about a respondents role, work setting and scope of practice. • Q43 – 49 (for individuals) • Q50 – Q53 (for those responding on behalf of an organisation)
