We have published our State of the Register 2024 Report. As of 1 June 2024, there were 89,496 nurses and midwives registered with NMBI. This represents a 5% increase on the same time period from the previous year and is the largest number of registrants ever held by NMBI.
84,213 nurses and midwives state that they are currently practising and 76,054 state they are patient-facing.
Earlier this month, we held our inaugural Student Nurse Ambassador Forum.
The event was a unique opportunity for undergraduate student nurses to meet with NMBI and understand the role of the regulator in supporting them throughout their careers. Lecturers from each education body were also invited to attend and support students. The Student Nurse Ambassadors will partner with NMBI in promoting the profession of nursing, as well as participate in NMBI events throughout the year.
Earlier this month, our President, Dr Louise Kavanagh McBride spoke to attendees at the annual conference of the Irish Association of Advanced Nurse and Midwife Practitioners (IAANMP) in Portlaoise.
Last month, our President, Dr Louise Kavanagh McBride, took part in a panel discussion at the Regional Nursing and Midwifery Research Conference in Galway.
