From April 2016 the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) are changing the requirements that nurses and midwives must meet when they renew their registration every three years.
The Library is here to help you to support in your CPD for your revalidation process.
Library staff can help with finding suitable articles, guidelines or reviews from resources such as the NHS Healthcare Databases, Cochrane Library, or NICE Evidence. Library staff can train you to search the databases and locate articles. Contact us to arrange training for your team or a personal session.
We can also source articles that are not available online.Please contact us for more details.
