Revalidation training is the process through which all nurses are required to regularly update and renew their registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). The purpose of revalidation training is to ensure that nurses remain up-to-date with their knowledge and skills, and that they are able to provide safe and effective care. Revalidation takes place every three years, and nurses must complete a number of activities in order to renew their registration. These include completing a revalidation portfolio, undertaking continuing professional development, and receiving feedback from patients and colleagues. Nurses who do not revalidate will not be able to practice in the UK. Revalidation training is an important part of ensuring that nurses can provide high-quality care to patients. 

 

Revalidation training provides an opportunity for nurses to reflect on their practice and identify areas for improvement. It also helps to ensure that nurses are continuously learning and keeping up to date with the latest developments in nursing care. By ensuring that nurses are engaging in regular reflection and CPD, revalidation helps to protect the health and safety of patients. In addition, revalidation training can help nurses to develop new skills and knowledge, which can improve the quality of care that they provide.
