We are holding a public consultation on the Draft Midwife Registration Programme Standards for undergraduate students from 7 May to 3 June 2025 and we encourage you to provide your feedback.  

As part of our role, we are mandated under the Nurses and Midwives Act 2011, as amended to publish the standards and requirements to guide the design, development, delivery and evaluation of nursing and midwifery registration programmes.

NMBI sets the regulatory standards and then the Higher Education Institutions, with their practice partners, write the programme curricula that map to these standards.

Our Director of Professional Standards – Midwifery, Dr Karn Cliffe said “Midwives play such an important role in delivering care to women, their babies and their families. The new standards will equip midwifery students with the knowledge and skills they need to work in partnership with women, further enhancing the midwifery profession for the years ahead.”

The draft document will be available for feedback from 6 May on the Consultations page of our website.
