About us
We regulate the UK’s nurses and midwives, the largest group of healthcare workers in the UK. We exist to protect the health and wellbeing of the public. We do this by maintaining the register of qualified nurses and midwives and by setting standards of education, training, conduct and performance. We make sure that nurses and midwives keep their skills and knowledge up to date through a regular revalidation process. If concerns are raised about the standards of a registered nurse or midwife, we have a duty to investigate and, where necessary, take action to protect the public.
