This important and timely conference including updates from NMC pilot sites, will update delegates on the development of Nursing Revalidation and focus on strengthening nursing appraisal in your service in preparation for a proportionate and effective model of revalidation which the Nursing and Midwifery Council has now committed to enhance public protection. There will be a focus on the role of the 'Confirmer' in nursing revalidation including experiences of those in the confirming role from the pilot sites, and an extended session on decision making in revalidation.
