Our vision is safe, effective and kind nursing and midwifery that improves everyone’s health and wellbeing. As the professional regulator of almost 745,000 nursing and midwifery professionals, we have an important role to play in making this a reality.

Our core role is to regulate. We promote high professional standards for our registrants, maintain the register of professionals eligible to practise and we investigate concerns about nurses, midwives and nursing associates.

To regulate well, we support our professions and the public. We create resources and guidance and we also support people involved in our investigations.

Regulating and supporting our professions allows us to influence health and social care. We share intelligence from our regulatory activities and work with our partners to support workforce planning and sector-wide decision making.
