This important and timely conference including updates from recently completed NMC pilot sites, will update delegates on the development of Nursing Revalidation and focus on strengthening nursing appraisal in your service in preparation for a proportionate and effective model of revalidation which the Nursing and Midwifery Council has committed to enhance public protection. There will be an extended session on developing the skills and role of the revalidation confirmer – learning from issues and challenges at the NMC revalidation pilot site – and understanding the quality assurance of the decision making process and the competencies needed for this crucial role. Through national updates and case studies from NMC revalidation pilot sites the conference will help you prepare for nursing revalidation in your practice.
