UK nurses overseas - maintaining NMC registration

Published

OK, so the rules have changed, and CPD is no longer enough.

I'm wondering about how to achieve the "reflective discussion" part when there are no UK registered nurses where I work.

So, all expat Brits, please let me know how you plan to maintain your NMC registration. Is anyone agreeable to contacting me, with a view to maybe planning an email/Skype discussion that we both can document?

I'm in Chicago btw, so if there are any other UK nurses here, we can meet in Panera instead : )

Hi Hilka. Yes I am still in need. How do we proceed from here?. Shall I send you my email address then you can send me your number via email?.

Thank you so much. Bev

Hi fellow UK nurses abroad!

I'm a UK registered nurse living and working in New Zealand. While I have my NZ registration and am not reliant on UK reg to work, I am not quite ready to let my UK registration lapse.


I am due to revalidate by 1st September, I have all my paperwork completed but I am struggling to find a confirmer! I've tried contacting the NMC directly (useless), tweeting, contacting companies that claim to offer revalidation confirmation for a fee.. nothing!! Am getting a little desperate now. If anyone could help...? Would be happy to repay the favour for people too!

You have left it pretty late, I think they expect you to start the process 90 days before it lapses.

Anyone on this thread can help you, you would need either Skype or WhatsApp to talk with them.

I can do Friday this week, that's Friday my time, and you are 17 hours ahead, so work out what works for you. I use WhatsApp, and you will need to be able to PM me your number.

Hi, I am in Oz. I have helped a few nurses with revalidation.

Just email me and we can organise a time to speak.

Hi Skylark,
Thanks for offering to help, but unfortunately I am out all day Saturday (6am - 8pm), so Friday wouldn't work.

Tracy, I'll flick you an email later tonight, and hopefully we can arrange something ? Thank you again everyone!

Hello everyone! I hope you doing well and hope you lot of courage in this difficult time we live fighting against the covid 19. I'm a French nurse, 3 years ago I was living and working in London, as I moved back in France, I have stopped to pay to keep my NMC PIN NUMBER update, I didn't know the consequences! My pin number lapsed and they ask me to provide the pin number of a nurse or midwife register with NMC, of course I haven't, so I don't meet the requirements and can't come back to work ??. Please is there someone who can help me here?! Thank you in advance for all advices and help.

Looking forward to read from you.
