title: Thousands of practitioners participate in consultation.
abstract: THE INTRODUCTION of revalidation will be the single biggest change the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has made to the regulation of nurses and midwives since it came into existence in 2002. It is a change that will enable us to protect the public better by ensuring that nurses and midwives reflect on how they meet the requirements of the code on a regular basis. This will refocus individual nurses and midwives, and will help to develop professionalism.
