If a nurse or midwife has died

Dealing with a nurse or midwife's death

In the sad event that a nurse or midwife dies, we need to be informed so that we can keep our register up to date. This also means that the bereaved family will no longer receive further postal communication, which can be distressing.

If you are the relative or representative sorting out the affairs of a nurse or midwife, please write to us. We need to know their full name and address, and their NMC Pin number if this is known. We will also require a copy of the death certificate. Please also let us know if you would like an acknowledgement sent to anyone in particular.

Please send the covering letter and a photocopy of the death certificate to the following address:
 
Registration Department
Nursing and Midwifery Council
23 Portland Place
