We are delighted to announce the appointment of Carolyn Donohoe as our new Chief Executive.

Carolyn joined the organisation in 2021 as NMBI’s Director of Education, Policy and Standards and has carried out the functions of the Chief Executive on an interim basis since April 2024. 

Since joining NMBI, Carolyn has led transformative and important regulatory change, including the modernisation of education site inspections and the publication of updated standards and guidance for nurses and midwives. Most recently, she oversaw the launch of the revised Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Registered Nurses and Registered Midwives in February 2025.

We have launched a public consultation to inform our new Statement of Strategy 2026 to 2029.  

The consultation will run from Tuesday, 5 August to Tuesday, 2 September 2025. 

We are inviting nurses, midwives, all our stakeholders, patients, health service users and members of the public to contribute to shaping our organisation’s direction for the coming years.
