NMC Revalidation Confirmer Service: Professional Support for Your Reflective Discussion

Finding a suitable confirmer for your NMC revalidation can be one of the most challenging aspects of the process. Whether you're struggling to find another NMC registrant, working in an isolated setting, or simply want professional, independent support, our NMC confirmer service is here to help.

What is an NMC Revalidation Confirmer?

An NMC confirmer is another registered nurse, midwife, or nursing associate who conducts your reflective discussion and verifies that you've met the revalidation requirements. The confirmer must be on the NMC register and have an appropriate understanding of your practice context.

During your reflective discussion, your confirmer will discuss your five written reflective accounts with you, exploring how they relate to the NMC Code and your professional development. This is a mandatory requirement for revalidation—you cannot complete the process without it.

Why Use a Professional NMC Confirmer Service?

Difficulty Finding a Confirmer

Many nurses and midwives struggle to find a suitable confirmer, particularly if they:

• Work in isolated or remote settings
• Are self-employed or work independently
• Work in non-clinical roles with limited contact with other registrants
• Have recently relocated or changed jobs
• Work in small teams where colleagues are also seeking confirmers
• Prefer independent, professional support

How Our NMC Confirmer Service Works

Step 1: Book Your Appointment

Choose a convenient time for your reflective discussion. We offer flexible scheduling to fit around your work and personal commitments.

Step 2: Prepare Your Reflective Accounts

Before your appointment, ensure you've completed your five written reflective accounts. You'll share these with your confirmer ahead of the discussion so they can review them.

Step 3: Attend Your Reflective Discussion

Join your confirmer for a thorough discussion of your reflective accounts via phone or video call. This typically takes 45-60 minutes and covers all five accounts and their relationship to the NMC Code.

Step 4: Receive Your Confirmation

After your discussion, you'll receive written confirmation including the discussion date and your confirmer's NMC PIN number, which you'll need for your online revalidation application.

Step 5: Complete Your Revalidation

Use the information from your reflective discussion to complete your NMC Online revalidation application with confidence.

What Makes a Good NMC Confirmer?

The NMC requires that your confirmer:

• Is a registered nurse, midwife, or nursing associate on the NMC register
• Has an appropriate understanding of your practice and context
• Can conduct a meaningful reflective discussion about your accounts
• Is willing to provide their NMC PIN number for your application

Our confirmers meet all these requirements and bring additional expertise in the revalidation process, ensuring you receive high-quality, professional support.

NMC Confirmer Requirements: What You Need to Know

Can Anyone Be Your Confirmer?

Your confirmer must be another NMC registrant, but they don't have to work in the same field or specialty as you. For example, a mental health nurse can confirm for an adult nurse, or a midwife can confirm for a nurse.

Can Your Manager Be Your Confirmer?

Yes, your line manager can be your confirmer if they're an NMC registrant. However, many professionals prefer independent confirmers to ensure objectivity and avoid any workplace dynamics.

Can You Use the Same Confirmer Every Time?

Yes, you can use the same confirmer for each three-year revalidation cycle if you wish. Many of our clients return to us for their ongoing revalidation needs.

Reflective Discussion Tips

To get the most from your reflective discussion with your confirmer:

• Prepare thoroughly: Review your reflective accounts before the discussion
• Be ready to discuss the Code: Think about how each account relates to specific sections of the NMC Code
• Be honest and open: This is a supportive discussion, not an assessment
• Ask questions: Use the opportunity to gain insights from an experienced professional
• Take notes: Record any additional insights or learning from the discussion
