Thank you to everyone who responded to our consultation on the draft Professional Competence Scheme Guideline. We have had over 2,700 responses which we will be reviewing in detail, and which will help inform further development of the draft guidelines.

We are acutely aware of the challenges faced by nurses and midwives in their busy working environments, so we want to ensure that the final scheme for the monitoring and maintenance of professional competence is supportive, practical, flexible and easy to navigate.

Further updates on our progress will be reported over the coming months.
