At its meeting on Wednesday, 18 February, the Board of NMBI confirmed the names of those who are removed from the Register of Nurses and Midwives for failure to renew their annual registration.
The Board considers removals under Section Section77(1) of the Nurses and Midwives Act 2011, as amended. Removal notices are being issued to those who did not renew their registration for 2026. Please note that notifications of removals are sent to known employers and the Health Service Executive (under Section 82 of the Act).
All nurses and midwives who practise in Ireland must, by law, be listed on the Register of Nurses and Midwives. It is an offence to practise nursing or midwifery if your name is not on the Register. Practice includes clinical practice, nursing or midwifery management, education and research.
It is the registrant’s responsibility to ensure that their name is on the Register if they practise nursing or midwifery in Ireland.
Registrants wishing to restore their name to the Register are required to pay a restoration fee of €250 in addition to the annual registration renewal fee of €100. They must also comply with the restoration requirements at the time of application.
