As the year comes to an end, so too does my time as President of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland. It has been a privilege and an honour to hold this esteemed position and I am optimistic as I now handover to a new President in 2023.

2022 was another challenging year for nurses and midwives, and I would like to thank all registrants and students for their hard work and dedication as they continue to provide person-centred care.

The 2023 annual registration renewal continues and to date over 25,000 registrants have completed the process.

The renewal window will remain open until Tuesday, 14 February 2023; however, we encourage registrants to login and renew as soon as possible to avoid any delays in processing during peak hours.

We are pleased to announce that the latest site inspection summary reports for University College Cork (UCC) and Letterkenny Institute of Technology (LYIT) are now published.
