PNMC REGISTRATION SYSTEM

Welcome to the PNMC Registration page.

Introduction:

PNMC has changed the Registration System in order to assure accuracy in registration and record keeping. This system will enable PNMC to better fulfill its role as the regulatory body for nurses, midwives, LHVs, and auxiliaries in Pakistan. The data accumulated by this system will contribute towards human resource planning and development in the health sector in general and particularly for Nursing, LHVs, and Midwifery.

Since 2003 PNMC is using new forms described in this leaflet to register graduates from Schools of Nursing, Midwifery, Public Health and others. The same form will be used for the renewal of registration of all persons already registered with the PNMC under the previous system, and for acknowledgement of post-basic courses studied in Colleges of Nursing and others.

The Registration Card will identify the Nurse, LHV, Midwifery and/or auxiliary to the employer and public as a properly prepared health professional. The Card will indicate both the basic and post-basic education in Nurse, LHV, and Midwife of the registrant.

PNMC welcomes your comments and suggestions regarding its new registration system and hopes you will find it efficient and useful.

Importance of PNMC Registration for Nursing Professionals:

The Pakistan Nursing and Midwifery Council (PNMC) registration is of utmost importance for several key reasons:

  1. Legal Recognition: PNMC registration is a legal requirement for individuals aspiring to practice as nurses and midwives in Pakistan. It ensures that healthcare professionals are qualified and authorized to provide safe and competent care to patients.
  2. Quality Assurance: Registration with PNMC signifies that nurses and midwives have met the education and training standards set by the council. This helps maintain a high level of competence and quality in the nursing and midwifery professions.
  3. Patient Safety: PNMC registration ensures that healthcare providers adhere to professional standards and ethical guidelines, ultimately safeguarding the well-being and safety of patients. Patients can trust that registered nurses and midwives have the necessary skills and knowledge to provide quality care.
  4. Career Opportunities: Registration with PNMC opens up various career opportunities within the healthcare sector, including government and private healthcare institutions, teaching positions, and roles in international healthcare organizations.
  5. International Recognition: PNMC registration may facilitate opportunities for Pakistani nurses and midwives to work abroad, as many foreign countries require proof of registration and credentials to practice nursing and midwifery.

PNMC registration is essential for maintaining the quality and credibility of nursing and midwifery professions in Pakistan, ensuring patient safety, and offering career growth and international mobility for registered professionals.
