The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is urging nurses not to let their registration lapse as they will be taken off the register immediately, according to new rules being introduced from November 2015.

Nurses need to maintain a valid registration with the NMC in order to work – anyone found in violation of the rules could find themselves suspended from their employer.

The NMC Director of Registration, Alison Sansome, said: “From November this year there will be no opportunity for registrants to submit their documentation or pay their fee after their registration expiry date.”

The new rules are being introduced to help pave the way for a new quarterly instalment payment option for their registration fees, giving greater flexibility to nurses.
