Analysis
Where does your annual NMC nursing registration fee go?
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has proposed increasing its £120 annual registration fee for nurses, midwives and nursing associates. The fee has been frozen for a decade, and the NMC says this has led to a real-terms loss of income equivalent to 28%. With a public consultation on the proposal set to go ahead, we look at how the NMC allocates its budget, including on fitness to practise proceedings, how its fees compare to those for other healthcare regulators, and claims the NMC is wasting registrants’ money.
