NMC to seek next Council Chair

Published on 27 September 2024

The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) will shortly launch the process to appoint the next Chair of Council. Sir David Warren will end his term at the point that a successor is ready to take up the post.

Sir David Warren said:

"It remains a great privilege to lead the Council at what is a turning point for the organisation. It will be for the next Chair to lead the NMC through the multi-year transformation programme to come, and it is now time to start the search for that person.

“Until they take up post, I'm looking forward to laying the groundwork for positive change at the NMC following the independent culture review.”

We will announce details of the process to recruit Sir David’s successor in due course. The next Chair will take forward the process to appoint a permanent Chief Executive and Registrar.
