About Us

Our core role is to regulate. First, we promote high education and professional standards for nurses and midwives across the UK, and nursing associates in England. Second, we maintain the register of professionals eligible to practise.

We believe in giving professionals the chance to address concerns, but we\xe2\x80\x99ll always take action when needed.

To regulate well, we support our professions and the public. We create resources and guidance that are useful throughout people\xe2\x80\x99s careers, helping them to deliver our standards in practice and address new challenges. We also support people involved in our investigations, and we\xe2\x80\x99re increasing our visibility so people feel engaged and empowered to shape our work.

Regulating and supporting our professions allows us to influence health and social care. We share intelligence from our regulatory activities and work with our partners to support workforce planning and sector-wide decision making. We use our voice to speak up for a healthy and inclusive working environment for our professions.
