Waive NMC PIN renewal fees and reimburse fees paid since the COVID-19 outbreak.
NHS staff are the core of the fight against COVID-19. Let’s waive the NMC fee renewals and reimburse those paid since the outbreak.
Our front line NHS are making the ultimate sacrifice for the public and are not currently supplied with access to appropriate PPE as is recognised by the government. They’re superheroes who give up their time, their safety and their cuddles with their children to take care of those needing support during this outbreak. They are giving our loved ones a hand to hold in their last moments when we can’t. To ask our nurses to pay £120 at a time when they are already giving so much is unacceptable.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The level of registrations fees are a matter for independent regulators such as the General Medical Council and Nursing and Midwifery Council, and not the Government or Parliament.
We have published a petition calling on the Government to reimburse health care professionals for professional registration fees, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/307399
You could start a new petition calling on the Government to fund health regulators directly, so they do not need to charge a registration fee.
