Why do nurses have to pay a registration fee?
“A key reason the fee is important to the NMC is that it's our only source of income – we don't rely on government funding for our regular activities of setting standards, maintaining the register, supporting revalidation and running fitness to practise.”
Do nurses pay 120 registration fee?
Every year, all nurses and midwives must pay £120 to be registered with the NMC - effectively, to have a licence to work. In light of the extra strain on the NHS during the COVID-19 pandemic, and in recognition of the work of all healthcare staff, we would like this fee to be waived this year.
