NMC Closing of the temporary register

At the start of the pandemic in 2020, the UK Government introduced emergency legislation which allowed nursing and midwifery professionals to support the response to the Covid-19 pandemic by joining our temporary register.

Following the government’s announcement of their Living with Covid plan, we stopped accepting new applicants onto the Covid-19 temporary register on 24 March 2022. We have also now received confirmation from the UK Government that our temporary register will close on 30 September 2022.
