Revalidation
Every three years, at the point of your renewal of registration, you will need to show that as a professional, you are living by the NMC’s Codes standards of practice and behaviour. We at NHS Professionals strongly believe in this process and encourage all our Bank members go through the revalidation process to ensure that you provide the best practice possible to ensure high level of patient safety.
The aim of revalidation is:
- To strengthen professionalism and practice
- To improve public protection and professional standards
To assist you in revalidation we have created an 8 step programme for you to follow and a feedback form when working a shift that can be completed by a Trust member of staff, which covers skills and abilities. This peer review can form part of your revalidation submission.
We also provide several online learning modules through Learnspace. Other links you may find useful are detailed below:
- Our clinical governance e-learning support page
- NMC’s Revalidation website where you can do your revalidation
- Blood Transfusion Training - a nationally recognised eLearning course which will provide a sound knowledge base regarding the safer administration of blood and blood products.
- The Code for Nurses and Midwives
