Our role

We are the nursing and midwifery regulator for England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Islands.

We exist to safeguard the health and wellbeing of the public.
We set standards of education, training, conduct and performance so that nurses and midwives can deliver high quality healthcare consistently throughout their careers.
We ensure that nurses and midwives keep their skills and knowledge up to date and uphold our professional standards.
We have clear and transparent processes to investigate nurses and midwives who fall short of our standards.
