Nurses and midwives in the UK look set to face three-yearly checks from the end of 2015 under proposals being put forward.

The Nursing and Midwifery Council wants to see patients, colleagues and employers give feedback on performance.

Those deemed not up to scratch face being barred from working, under the plans drawn up by the NMC.

A similar system - albeit carried out every five years - was introduced last year for doctors.

670,000 nurses times ?xxx per validation is a lot of test strips, hips joints etc and for what value? Not to mention the Tripadvisor problem when patients are asked for an opinion.
