Our vision

To safeguard the public by ensuring nurses and midwives consistently deliver high quality healthcare.

Our mission

The Nursing and Midwifery Council exists to safeguard the health and wellbeing of the public. We do this by maintaining a register of nurses and midwives, setting standards for education and practice, and giving guidance to the professions. We aim to inspire confidence by ensuring that the nurses and midwives on our register are fit to practise and by dealing swiftly and fairly with those who are not.

  • We are consistent in the way we deal with people and show consideration and understanding.

We are progressive

We are inclusive
