NMC

The Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana (N&MC) is the statutory regulator responsible for overseeing nursing and midwifery training and practice in Ghana. Established by an Act of Parliament, the Council works with students, practitioners and training institutions to support professional standards and maintain the register of qualified nurses and midwives.

Its services cover key stages of professional education and practice. These include indexing students entering nursing and midwifery training institutions, registering qualified practitioners after licensure examinations, administering examinations, licensing and verification. The Council also provides online examination registration, results checking and license renewal; renewal is a legal requirement for practitioners to maintain a valid license. Its regulatory work includes accrediting institutions, while online resources include continuing professional development (CPD), e-learning and application services.

The N&MC shares examination timetables, procedural manuals, indexing guidance, frequently asked questions and professional news through its website. It also provides information on scope of practice and communicates updates to students and practitioners, helping stakeholders access guidance and complete relevant regulatory processes.
