Consultations

NMBI engages in consultation with stakeholders

We regularly consult with registered nurses and midwives and with other stakeholders to inform our work, such as to develop standards and guidance or other materials.

Current consultations

Consultation Open on Draft Post-Registration Specialist Standards

NMBI is inviting submissions as part of a public consultation on its draft Standards for Post-Registration Specialist Education. These proposed standards represent an important development in the regulatory framework, marking the first time NMBI has established specific standards for specialist practice. They build on existing Standards for Entry to the Register and the Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Registered Nurses and Registered Midwives (2025).

NMBI welcomes contributions from a wide range of stakeholders, including clinical and academic experts, those working in specialist practice, service providers, governance leads, health service users, and members of the public. 

Visit or Consultations page to read the draft consultation document and submit your feedback through the online survey.

The closing date for submitting your feedback is 5pm on Wednesday, 29 July 2026.
