Revalidation is the process by which nurses, midwives and nursing associates maintain their registration with the NMC and are eligible to practise. This module uses animation, short video clips and interactive activities to explore revalidation, what midwives need to do to maintain their effective registration and how the RCM, i-learn and i-folio can help you with this process.

At the end of the module you will:

•     Understand the process of revalidation and what you need to submit to the NMC
•     Demonstrate how reflective practice impacts on professional development and revalidation
•     Be able to develop a collection of evidence in i-folio to support your revalidation
•     Know where to go for further information

Study time: 40 minutes approx. (includes a 6-minute animation and two 1-minute videos)

NB: Revalidation is currently under review by NMC: full report and consultation findings to be brought back to the council in May 2027. It is hoped the updated Code and revalidation process will be approved by October 2027 with it starting to go live from April 2028.

Feedback from learners:

'Excellent format. Clear and consistent.'
'Always anxious when revalidating. Valuable tool to have!'
'It was a useful refresher in preparation for my revalidation'
'Really helpful. It will be the first time I've had to revalidate, so wanted to be on the ball before the deadline approached! This has helped clarify what I need to do. Thank you.'
