Standards of proficiency for pre-registration nursing education 2004

Please note there is now a 2010 edition of these standards

We published a new edition of the standards, Standards for pre-registration nursing education in 2010, which were implemented in September 2011. You can read the new standards in full on our Library of Standards website.

These standards for pre-registration nursing education replace our 2004 Standards of proficiency for pre-registration nursing education. Many are based on previous rules, standards and guidance. Others have been introduced after extensive consultation with stakeholders, in accordance with article 3(14) of the order incorporating the findings of our review Nursing: Towards 2015 (NMC 2007), and key policies from the four UK government health departments including Modernising nursing careers (DH, 2006).
