WHY IS REVALIDATION HAPPENING?

To raise awareness of the NMC’s Code (2015) and the professional standards expected of you, as a Registered Nurse.
To encourage you to reflect on the professional standards and demonstrate how you are ‘living’ the standards.
To encourage you to keep your knowledge and skills remain updated and to be aware of the changing needs of your patients, the public and fellow healthcare professionals.
To promote a culture of professional sharing, reflection and improvement.
To encourage you to engage in professional networks and discussions about practice.
To strengthen public confidence in the nursing and midwifery professions.

Thinking point
Think about The Code. Where can you access a copy? How does it affect your professional practice? What does it mean to you to work within a professional code? How can The Code help to strengthen your patients’ confidence in you as a Registered Nurse? What can you start to put into your portfolio?
