Regards, Tim Ellis RN, SPCHN (OH) Occupational Health Advisor Loughborough University 01509 222851 Sent from Tim's iPhone Begin forwarded message: From: OH Nurses Register <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Date: 27 August 2013 15:39:24 BST To: <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Subject: NMC consultation on 'five year rule' NMC consultation on ‘five year rule’ The NMCs legislation currently allows UK trained nurses and midwives who hold approved qualifications to enter the register for a period of up to five years following completion of that qualification. The legislation also specifies that if a nurse or midwife gained an approved qualification over five years ago, that they should undertake additional training, education or experience before entering the register for the first time. The NMC is currently undertaking a consultation exercise on the introduction of guidance to cover individuals who apply to register qualifications awarded more than five years previously. Occupational health nurses should register their qualifications with the NMC or risk having to undertake further training. However, it is also important that occupational health nurses engage in this consultation so that any guidance that is developed reflects our work and the way that we practice The link for the consultation exercise is as follows: http://www.nmc-uk.org/Get-involved/Consultations/Five-year-rule-guidance-consultation/ The consultation will close at 17.00 on Wednesday 9th October 2013 You have received this email as you have registered your details with the OH Nurse Register administered by the Society of Occupational Medicine.
