NMC consultation event
The NMC are conducting a 10-week consultation to hear informed and useful views from a wide variety of stakeholders on their draft programme standards for pre-registration nursing. This includes Nursing Associates, Midwifery and the four fields of nursing. The programme standards set out how nursing and midwifery courses should be delivered to ensure that programmes leading to registration are fit for purpose.
If you are a student member of the RCN or work in nursing education or have an interest in nursing education, we would like to invite you to join our consultation event on:
Monday 8 August 19:00 to 20:30 - register for the event here.
If you are unable to attend the consultation, you can also share your views via our questionnaire. It will only take 15 minutes and is open until midnight on 14 August.
