The document is a guidebook for using the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) to screen adults for malnutrition risk. It estimates that over 3 million people in the UK are at risk of malnutrition based on nutrition screening week surveys that found 28-42% of hospital and care home patients to be at medium or high risk. Malnutrition has significant health, social care, and economic costs due to consequences like impaired immune function and wound healing, reduced muscle strength, and increased risk of falls and hospital admissions. The MUST tool and guidebook aim to improve malnutrition screening and care planning.
This document discusses malnutrition screening using the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) in various healthcare settings in the UK. It reports that malnutrition affects over 3 million people in the UK, with most cases occurring in the community rather than hospitals. MUST screening data has found malnutrition risk prevalence of approximately 28% in UK hospitals, 16-21% in outpatient clinics, 10-12% in sheltered housing, 30-42% in care homes, and an estimated 4.8% in GP surgeries. The document also discusses associations between malnutrition risk and deprivation as well as healthcare outcomes and costs.
This document summarizes several legal cases related to medical consent and negligence. It discusses cases that established:
- Competent patients can refuse medical treatment even if it places their health or life at risk.
- Capacity assessments must consider any factors impairing a patient's decision-making at that time.
- Doctors are not obligated to provide requested treatments they deem not to be in a patient's best interests.
- Consent given under coercion may not be valid.
- Children may be competent to consent depending on their maturity and understanding of the treatment.
The document discusses various aspects of medicines management and accountability in nursing, including:
1) Pharmaceutical companies must obtain licenses from regulatory agencies before marketing new drugs. The thalidomide tragedy led to stricter licensing laws in the UK and EU.
2) Nurses have a duty of care to patients and can be held accountable for negligence through litigation if their actions or lack thereof cause harm. Proper documentation is important for defending one's actions.
3) The NMC and employers can take disciplinary action if nurses fail to meet professional standards in medicines administration or other areas of practice. Nurses are accountable to regulatory bodies, employers, patients, and the law.

Introduction
Post-registration education and practice (Prep) is a set of Nursing and Midwifery
Council (NMC) standards and guidance which is designed to help you provide a high
standard of practice and care.
This handbook consolidates everything you need to know about the Prep standards and
guidance. You should read it in conjunction with The code: Standards of conduct,
performance and ethics for nurses and midwives (the code).
If you have any further queries about how to meet the Prep standards, you can contact
us in confidence. Our contact details are on the back cover.
Like many professional regulators in healthcare, the NMC is reviewing and updating the
standards for the maintenance and renewal of registration. This will form the basis of
our approach to revalidation which will be launched by the end of 2015.
Prep helps you to:
• provide a high standard of practice and care
• keep up to date with new developments in practice
• think and reflect for yourself
• demonstrate that you are keeping up to date and developing your practice.

You, Prep and the NMC
The role of the NMC
We are the nursing and midwifery regulator for England, Wales, Scotland, Northern
Ireland and the Islands.
• We exist to safeguard the health and wellbeing of the public.
• We set standards of education, training, conduct and performance so that nurses
and midwives can deliver high quality healthcare consistently throughout their
careers.
• We ensure that nurses and midwives keep their skills and knowledge up to date and
uphold our professional standards.
• We have clear and transparent processes to investigate nurses and midwives who
fall short of our standards.
The NMC register
Registration with the NMC is essential for you to be able to work in the United Kingdom
(UK) and the Islands as a nurse or midwife. We maintain a register of all the people who
have fulfilled the NMC’s registration requirements and who are, therefore, entitled to
practise in the UK and the Islands. The register is at the heart of the NMC’s role in
safeguarding the health and wellbeing of the public.
Requirements for renewal of registration with the NMC
To renew your registration every three years, you will need to provide a signed
notification of practice (NoP) form and pay your renewal of registration fee. The NoP
asks you to declare that you have met the Prep requirements (see page 4) and are of
good health and good character. Your registration will not be renewed until the NMC
has received and processed your completed and signed form, together with your fee
payment.
Please note that now the NMC has moved to the annual payment of fees, you will be
required to pay a retention of registration fee at the end of the first and second years of
the registration period.
Additionally, in order to practise, midwives need to give notice of their intention to
practise, in accordance with rule 3 of the Midwives rules and standards. This is done by
submitting a completed annual intention to practise (ItP) form every year to their named
supervisor of midwives.
If you are not registered with the NMC you cannot be employed to practise as a nurse
or midwife in the UK.

The NMC’s Prep requirements
The Prep requirements are professional standards set by the NMC. They are legal
requirements, which you must meet in order for your registration to be renewed.
There are two separate Prep standards which affect your registration.
• The Prep (practice) standard
You must have worked in some capacity by virtue of your nursing or midwifery
qualification during the previous three years for a minimum of 450 hours, or have
successfully undertaken an approved return to practice course within the last three
years.
• The Prep (continuing professional development) standard
You must have undertaken and recorded your continuing professional development
(CPD) over the three years prior to the renewal of your registration. All nurses and
midwives have been required to comply with this standard since April 1995. Since
April 2000, you must have declared on your NoP form that you have met this
requirement when you renew your registration.
5. 12 October 2011 Page 5 of 12
The Prep (practice) standard
1 The aim of this standard is to safeguard the health and wellbeing of the public
by ensuring that anyone renewing their registration has undertaken a minimum
amount of practice. This standard requires you to have practised in some capacity
by virtue of your nursing or midwifery qualification for a minimum of 450 hours
during the three years prior to the renewal of your registration. If you do not meet
this requirement, you will need to undertake an approved return to practice course
before you can renew your registration.
Meeting the Prep (practice) standard
2 In order to meet the practice standard you must have undertaken the 450 hours in
your capacity as a nurse or midwife. For example, you can only meet the practice
standard for midwifery by practising midwifery and similarly for nursing. Any
practice that was undertaken when you were not registered cannot be counted
towards meeting the practice standard.
3 As a midwife, you will need to continue to submit your intention to practise
notification annually to your named supervisor of midwives in accordance with
rule 3 of the Midwives rules and standards, if you wish to practise midwifery.
4 The following table is designed to help you to know how many hours you need to
complete in order to meet the practice standard and so renew your registration(s).
Renewing your registration for Hours required
Nursing 450
Midwifery 450
Nursing and midwifery 900
Nursing and specialist community public health nursing 450
Midwifery and specialist community public health nursing 900
Nursing, midwifery and specialist community public health
nursing
900
5 You can meet the Prep (practice) standard whether you are:
5.1 in paid work: for example, when you are employed by an organisation
such as an NHS trust, a care home, an independent healthcare provider,
a nursing agency, a health authority or health board, educational institution,
another type of company or organisation, or if you work in independent
practice
5.2 in unpaid work: for example, when you are working on a voluntary basis in
a role requiring registration, such as for an established healthcare charity
6. 12 October 2011 Page 6 of 12
5.3 not working: for example, when you are taking a career break within the
three year re-registration period, you may still be able to meet the practice
standard if you have completed the required hours in practice as a
registered nurse at some point during those three years. If you do not meet
the Prep (practice) standard, you will need to successfully complete an
approved return to practice course before you can renew your registration.
7. 12 October 2011 Page 7 of 12
Returning to practice
6 If you are unable to comply with the practice standard, you will have to
successfully complete a return to practice programme approved by the NMC.
These programmes are designed to allow you to renew your registration and
return to practice when your registration has lapsed after a break in practice
of three years or more. Courses whose outcomes have been validated by the
NMC must include:
6.1 an understanding of the influence of health and social policy relevant to the
practice of nursing and midwifery
6.2 an understanding of the requirements of legislation, guidelines, codes of
practice and policies relevant to the practice of nursing and midwifery
6.3 an understanding of the current structure and organisation of care,
nationally and locally
6.4 an understanding of current issues in nursing and midwifery education and
practice
6.5 the use of relevant literature and research to inform the practice of nursing
and midwifery
6.6 the ability to identify and assess need, design and implement interventions
and evaluate outcomes in all relevant areas of practice, including the
effective delivery of appropriate emergency care
6.7 the ability to use appropriate communications, teaching and learning skills
6.8 the ability to function effectively in a team and participate in a
multiprofessional approach to people’s care
6.9 the ability to identify strengths and weaknesses, acknowledge limitations of
competence, and recognise the importance of maintaining and developing
professional competence.
7 An approved return to practice programme will be not less than five days in length.
The length and nature of the programme will be determined by the education
provider and the particular individual. This will take into account your registration
history, previous levels of knowledge and experience, and any relevant experience
undertaken while you have been out of professional practice.
8 For further information about return to practice programmes, visit www.nmc-
uk.org/approved-programmes where you can search for universities that provide
approved return to practice programmes in the UK.

The Prep (continuing professional development) standard
9 The Prep requirements include a commitment to undertake continuing professional
development (CPD). This element of Prep is referred to as Prep (CPD). The Prep
(CPD) standard is to:
9.1 undertake at least 35 hours of learning activity relevant to your practice
during the three years prior to your renewal of registration
9.2 maintain a personal professional profile of your learning activity
9.3 comply with any request from the NMC to audit how you have met these
requirements.
10 You must comply with the prep (CPD) standard in order to maintain your NMC
registration.
Meeting the Prep (CPD) standard
11 The learning activity which you undertake to meet this standard must be relevant
to your practice. However, there is no such thing as approved Prep (CPD) learning
activity.
12 You must document, in your profile, your relevant learning activity and the way in
which it has informed and influenced your practice. Although there is no approved
format for the profile and you can meet the Prep (CPD) standard in many different
ways, we have developed a template which you might like to consider when
organising your profile. This is outlined in paragraphs 13-14.4 on page 9.
9. 12 October 2011 Page 9 of 12
Prep (CPD) – guidance for recording your learning
13 You should document each learning activity you have undertaken in the three
years prior to renewing your registration. You should think about how you might
like to record what you do, what you learn and how you apply it to your
professional practice.
14 We suggest your record covers:
14.1 A list and a description of your work place or organisation and role for
the last three years. You should record your work place(s) and your work
or role(s) that relate to the learning activity you describe. If you have worked
in various places, but in essentially the same role (for example, if you are a
bank nurse or an agency nurse), you may want to group this type of work
together and summarise it in this section. If you were not working, we
suggest you put ‘not working’.
14.2 The nature of the learning activity – what did you do? You should
record the learning activity related to the work you identified for the last
three years. You should state the date or period when this learning activity
took place and state how many hours the learning activity took.
14.3 Description of the learning activity – what did it consist of? Provide a
detailed description of what the learning activity consisted of, why you
decided to do the learning or how the opportunity came about, where when
and how you did the learning and what you expected to gain from it.
14.4 Outcome of the learning activity – how did the learning relate to your
work? You should record the effect it has had on the way in which you work
or intend to work in the future and any follow-up learning which you maybe
planning in the future. You may begin by completing the sentence ‘The
ways in which this learning has influenced my work are: …’.
You may find it helpful to routinely collect documentation from any learning activity you
undertake such as appraisals, attendance or completion certificates.

How will the NMC know that you have met the standards?
Testing compliance
To demonstrate the rigour of the Prep standards to patients and the public, the NMC
has a number of ways in which it can ensure that nurses and midwives are complying
with them.
Notification of practice form
Everyone on our register must declare that they have complied with the Prep (CPD)
standard and the Prep (practice) standard on their notification of practice (NoP) form
which they complete when they renew their registration every three years.
The Prep (CPD) audit
The NMC audits compliance with the Prep (CPD) standard. Nurses and midwives may
be asked to provide the NMC with a brief description of their learning activity and the
relevance of this learning to their work. If you are asked to take part in the audit, your
evidence will need to be provided using Prep (CPD) summary forms which the NMC will
send to you. We may also ask for evidence such as appraisals, attendance or
completion certificates from your learning activity, so you may find it helpful to routinely
collect these items.
The Prep (CPD) summary form
The Prep (CPD) summary form is only issued to those involved in the audit. Please note
that the completed contents of the form are used by the NMC only for the purpose of
monitoring Prep (CPD) and we will advise you if we require any other correspondence
or certificates to be sent with the form. If there is a question with regard to your Prep
(CPD) summary form, the NMC will write to advise you.

Important reminders
• If you submit fraudulent information to the NMC, we may commence fitness to
practise proceedings against you.
• In accordance with the code, you must always declare any cautions and convictions
to the NMC immediately.
• Please ensure your registered address and contact details are always up to date.
The most common reason for lapsed registration, which leads to practising illegally,
is addresses that haven’t been updated resulting in registration documents being
sent to the wrong address.

Further information
The Prep handbook was first published by the former United Kingdom Central Council
for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting (UKCC) in January 2001. It was revised in
April 2002 following the establishment of the NMC, and again in August 2004 to bring it
into line with changes brought about by the Nursing and Midwifery Order 2001. Further
changes were made in relation to intention to practise notifications in accordance with
rule 3 of the Midwives rules and standards. This was altered in November 2004 and a
new version of The Prep handbook was published in April 2005.
The rules to establish the new register in August 2004 also required that the time
frames for meeting the practice and continuing professional development standards
should both be three years. The date for implementation of this rule was August 2006.
Further changes have been made in relation to the standards required for re-registering
as a specialist community public health nurse.
This booklet was reissued in a new format in April 2008, with updated practice hours
requirements for people on the specialist community public health nursing part of the
register.
A new design was introduced in April 2010 with the addition of paragraph numbers for
the Prep standards, however the content has not changed.
This current version of The Prep handbook was issued in October 2011, which includes
some minor revisions for clarity, such as the removal of some examples.
