From April 2016, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) changed their requirements for nurses and midwives to renew their professional registration.
The Library can help support your Continuing Professional Development during the revalidation process. We offer access to a range of electronic databases and resources, both via the NHS through NICE Evidence, and Inter Library Loans and Document Supply. We offer training on how to search these resources and find articles, guidelines and other types of document you may need, both on a group and 1-2-1 basis.
