Information Icon What is a qualification certificate?
Close Modal

What is a qualification certificate?

This is the certificate you were given when you completed your course for the qualification you are relying on to register with us.

* Required fields

Does your health allow you to practise safely and effectively?

Information Icon Why do you need to know this?
Close Modal

Why do you need to know this?

We will ask you for some information about your health to make sure that you can practise safely and effectively.

Declaring a health condition and/or disability doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t be able to join our register; we just need to be sure that you have taken steps to manage this so that you're able to practise safely and effectively.

* Required fields

Have you received a police charge, caution, conviction or conditional discharge?

Information Icon Why do you need to know this?
Close Modal

Why do you need to know this?

We need to know that people applying to join our register are of sufficiently good character to practise safely and effectively.

When we assess your application, we will need to take into account any police charge, caution, conviction or conditional discharge you've received that is not protected (this means it would not be shown on a police clearance or DBS check).

* Required fields

Has another regulatory body determined your fitness to practise impaired?

* Required fields

Have you ever been registered?

* Required fields

Have you been registered within the last three years?

* Required fields

What evidence of your English language do you have to support your application?

* Required fields

Will you have appropriate indemnity cover in place for your practise?

Information Icon What is professional indemnity?
Close Modal

What is professional indemnity?

It's a legal requirement for everyone on our register to have an appropriate indemnity arrangement in place for when they practise in their professional capacity.

This is to make sure that if someone has suffered harm through the negligent action of a nurse, midwife or nursing associate they will be able to claim any compensation they are entitled to.

The indemnity arrangement doesn’t need to be individually held by you (you might be covered by your employer), but it’s your responsibility to make sure that it covers your professional practice.
