General Educational Requirements and
Professional Conditions for
Nurses in the United Kingdom

To work in the UK as a registered nurse, you will need to register with the Nursing and Midwife Council
(formerly the United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting - UKCC).

It is recommended to fax or E-mail your request as it is almost impossible to reach the NMC by phone

To apply to the NMC you must allow considerable time, since it takes 3-6 months for your registration to be processed. As a rule, Australian and New Zealand nurses must have one year's post graduate experience and South African nurses need three months. Nurses from other countries, such as India, the USA and Canada or Eastern Europe have different rules for being accepted. It is important to understand that each application is individually assessed. If you have insufficient experience in certain specialist areas, you may be required to do extra hours of training in that specialty. We strongly advise, that you do this in your home country as this can be almost impossible to organise in the UK.

Please note that the NMC doesn't accept Enrolled Nurses trained abroad on to their register. You can still work in the UK though as an Auxiliary Nurse Trained Abroad (ATA). There are plenty of opportunities for ATA's in the UK.

In order to work as a Registered nurse in the UK, an overseas-trained nurse needs to:

be able to speak English to a specified standard (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL)
be registered with the Nursing and Midwife Council (NMC)
obtain an appropriate work permit for the UK
obtain appropriate visas for entry to the UK
have an offer of work in the UK

You should note that UK Employers do not usually take direct applications from overseas nurses
