Suspend the Nursing and Midwifery Council subscription fee during Covid pandemic
In order to remain on the NMC register, nurses and midwives have to pay the regulator £120 per year. In light of the increased commitment to the general public we are all having to demonstrate during the Covid-19 pandemic, the fee should.be suspended as a good will gesture.
Our professions are facing huge demand, we are working more tirelessly and with more commitment than ever whilst exposing ourselves and our families to the outbreak. A good will gesture on light of this would be to at least not have to pay £120 a year for the privelige.
