That is always the case for members of a profession including lawyers, doctors, architects, physiotherapists etc. Our predecessors such as Dame Sarah Swift fought for nursing to be considered as a profession and establish a nursing register in order to raise our status.

It is illegal to work as a > nurse or a midwife in the UK without being on the NMC register. To be on the > NMC register, nurses and midwives must pay an annual registration fee. > However, nurses and midwives are not alone in being required to pay an annual > registration fee. All regulated healthcare professionals in the UK are > required to do this to maintain registration. As an independent body, the NMC > is responsible for determining the amount of its annual registration fee. This > amount needs to cover the cost of its regulatory activity including quality > assurance of education, maintenance of the register, development of standards, > statutory supervision of midwives and the processing of fitness-to-practise > cases. The Department notes that since the NMC was established under the > Nursing and Midwifery Order 2001 on 1 April 2002, there have been a number of > increases in the level of its annual registration fee. In 2004, the NMC annual > registration fee was £43, which increased to £76 in August 2007. In February > 2013, the NMC received a £20million Government grant that allowed it to > protect nurses and midwives from the full impact of a further fee rise. As a > result of this financial support, the NMC was able to reduce the amount of the > fee increase from £76 to £100, instead of £120 as originally proposed. The > Department is aware that on 26 March, the NMC Council is scheduled to carry > out its annual registration fee review. On 29 January, in advance of this > formal review, the NMC Council considered the level of this fee and took the > view that an increase is potentially necessary for 2015-16 onwards to bridge a > funding gap between income and expenditure. As of February, the NMC reports > that further work to develop proposals and a consultation document is > currently underway. The Department is aware that the level of the NMC annual > registration is of key importance to its registrants, particularly within the > current context of pay restraint and financial austerity. However, as of > February, the NMC advises that no decision has been made. If, in due course, > the NMC Council does propose a fee increase, this will be subject to > consultation where the NMCıs case would be scrutinised. The NMC has a > statutory duty to consult with any parties likely to be affected by changes to > annual registration fee. Should such a consultation be launched in future, > this will give interested parties the opportunity to contribute their views to > this process.
