The revised Registration standard: Endorsement as a nurse practitioner came into effect on 1 June 2016.
In August 2019, following wide consultation, the NMBA agreed and updated the definition of ‘advanced practice’. Pending review of the Registration standard: Endorsement as a nurse practitioner, the updated definition can be sourced in the Nurse practitioner standards for practice (2021).
The following additional documents have been developed to supplement the Registration standard: Endorsement as a nurse practitioner by providing further information to nurses regarding the NMBA’s expectations and requirements.
The revised Registration standard: Endorsement as a nurse practitioner was developed after a review of the existing standard, which included public consultation. The consultation report provides an overview of the consultation process, rationale for any changes and sets out the proposed way forward, including areas where further work is planned.
