Five New Members to Join NMBI Board
 |
Five new members will join the Board of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) following an election.
Voting took place between 13 and 21 September and was open to all nurses and midwives who were on NMBI’s Register on 9 August. The results were announced by the Returning Officer, Colm O’Leary on 21 September.
Four registrants were elected to the Board from the practices of psychiatric nursing, intellectual disability nursing, public health and from the area of nursing engaged in the care of older persons.
As there was only one nominated candidate in the midwifery category a poll was not taken, and the nominee was deemed to be elected.
The successful candidates were:
