What is the UK regulator for nursing and midwifery professions?

  1. Department of Health

  2. Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC)

  3. General Medical Council

  4. Health and Care Professions Council

The correct answer is: Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC)

The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is the UK regulator specifically responsible for the nursing and midwifery professions. Its primary function is to protect the public by ensuring that nurses and midwives meet the necessary standards of education, training, conduct, and performance. The NMC maintains a register of qualified nurses and midwives and is responsible for setting the standards for education and practice, as well as handling concerns about professional conduct. The other organizations listed serve different roles within the healthcare system. The Department of Health oversees public health policy but does not regulate individual health professionals. The General Medical Council regulates doctors, not nurses or midwives. The Health and Care Professions Council regulates various allied health professions but does not include nursing and midwifery in its scope. Therefore, the NMC is clearly defined as the appropriate regulatory body for nursing and midwifery in the UK.
