The Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors (Periodic Registration) Amendment Rules Approval Order 1995
This Order gives effect to the amendment by the United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting of rules governing the registration of nurses, midwives and health visitors. To date, registration has been renewable on a three yearly basis upon payment, by nurses and health visitors, of a fee only. The amendments effected introduce additional requirements on all nurses, midwives and health visitors seeking renewal of their registration and create a system by which continuing education will be required to be undertaken by all practitioners throughout their period of registration.
