The Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors (Training) Amendment Rules Approval Order 2000
The Rules approved by this Order, made by the United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting, further amend the Rules approved by the Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors Rules Approval Order 1983 (S.I. 1983/873) to provide for the introduction of a new form, and a more flexible structure, of training to prepare student nurses for entry to Parts 12 to 15 of the register. The new provisions will apply to some courses which begin in September 2000 and will in due course replace the current training provisions. The Rules also amend the training provisions on health visitors to allow for more flexibility in the arranging of periods of attendance on a course and to add to the categories of nurse who may be admitted to training as a health visitor.
