It plans to consult on three specific changes – the scores it accepts for language tests, whether it can accept evidence of non-registered practice in English supported by an employer reference or other evidence, and whether it can accept non-nursing or midwifery postgraduate qualifications taught and examined in English. At a meeting on 26 May, the Council will consider approving a consultation on proposed changes to the NMC’s English language requirements, with a view to implementing any resulting changes from October this year.

The NMC is considering accepting employer English language references as part of a proposed overhaul of requirements for overseas applicants. This request comes after concerns that have been raised about the current requirements, as well as the increasing number of successful appeals by applicants to the NMC’s registration appeals panel. The Nursing and Midwifery Council is asking its council to approve a public consultation on amending English language requirements for internationally trained applicants, to ensure the processes are 'fair and reliable'. We request NMC to consider to accept OET- C band /IELTS 6 - ( all four modules) or reduce the difficult reading score to C+/ 6.5 -whose medium of education is in English.
