Brain Grain is not affiliated with the NMC, and this is not immigration or legal advice. Every rule here is quoted from the NMC's own published page and linked so you can read it yourself. Rules change: confirm on nmc.org.uk before you act on anything. Checked 7 September 2026.

Not a nurse or midwife? Physiotherapists, radiographers, occupational therapists, dietitians, podiatrists and speech and language therapists are regulated by the HCPC, whose English rules are different — check the HCPC requirement instead.
