DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN FIND WHO IS ON THE NMBI REGISTER?

The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) maintains two public registers:

1. Register of Nurses and Midwives: This register lists all nurses and midwives currently registered to practise in Ireland.
2. Candidate Register: This includes nursing and midwifery students enrolled in approved Irish Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and international applicants completing adaptation and assessment placements in Ireland.

Both registers are updated in real-time and are accessible to the public, ensuring transparency and trust in the healthcare system.
