Abstract

Launching in October 2015 and effective from April 2016, the only way a nurse or midwife will be able to renew their registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council will be through a process called revalidation. Revalidation builds on the current PREP requirements and is underpinned by the four themes of the new Code. It is a mechanism by which each nurse and midwife will provide the evidence that they are ‘living the Code’ in their professional practice and personal development. There are certain requirements that must be met and then confirmed by a third party. It is suggested that the supervision framework can contribute to revalidation and support and enable midwives to demonstrate they have met the requirements. Midwives need to familiarise themselves with the requirements and start planning as to how they can demonstrate they have met them. A good place to start is by having ‘revalidation conversations’ with their colleagues and their Supervisor of Midwives.
