The most notable change to these documents concerns the advice surrounding the electronic storage of the reflective discussion and confirmation forms. We have been in regular contact with the Information Commissioner's Office on this matter and we are pleased to say that they have now updated their advice for nurses and midwives. We have reflected this updated advice in "How to revalidate with the NMC" as follows:
Your reflective discussion form and confirmation form contain personal data about another person. This means that there are data protection implications for nurses and midwives completing these forms. However, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) recognises that it would be highly disproportionate to expect nurses and midwives to have to register with them as data controllers. The ICO has confirmed that it is not planning to take any action against any nurse or midwife for failing to register. You may choose to store your completed reflective discussion and confirmation forms in either paper or electronic format. You should still respect the fact that these forms contain personal data about your reflective discussion partner and confirmer.
Health Minister Ben Gummer today (17 December 2015) announced a plan to create a new nursing support role.
Provisionally called nursing associates, they will work alongside healthcare support workers and fully qualified nurses focusing on patient care.
The role, which could also be a new route for those wishing to become a registered nurse, has been recommended by nursing leaders and other healthcare professionals. The new addition to the care workforce will help bridge the gap between healthcare support workers, who have a care certificate, and registered nurses.
Read about changes to healthcare education funding for student nursing, midwifery and allied health students. Details about the proposed new route into nursing, a role provisionally called nursing associate, will be available here.

Person-Centred Care seems to be the latest thing the NHS has suddenly got excited about, but is it real, is it of value, will it last, or is it the latest fad?
NHS England and the Department of Education have joined forces to launch a multimillion pound joint mental health pilot scheme for hundreds of schools.
The Mental Health Services and Schools Link Pilots will test a named single point of contact in 255 schools and in 22 pilot areas, meaning more joined up working between schools and health services. This has been backed by £3m of government funding.
