NMC revalidation tracker

Every bit of evidence in one place, and a portfolio PDF when you are ready to submit.

Sessional for nurses

Who it is for

Every UK nurse and midwife on the NMC register has to revalidate every three years. The tracker is available on every NURSE and MIDWIFE account.

What Sessional tracks

Practice hours

Free on every tier

450 hours over three years for a single registration. Dual nurse and midwife registrants need 450 hours in each part of the register.

CPD

Tracked

35 hours in total, with at least 20 participatory hours.

Reflective accounts

Tracked

Five written reflections linked to the NMC Code, anonymised and ready to review.

Feedback

Tracked

Five pieces of practice-related feedback, from patient, colleague, manager, peer, or other.

Confirmation

Tracked

One confirmation discussion with a suitable confirmer before you submit.

Sessional anchors the cycle to your PIN renewal date when that date is set on your profile. Download the portfolio PDF close to submission time for the most accurate dates.

Editing and deleting entries

Each recent-entry row has a two-step delete action. Editing is not yet supported, so if a detail is wrong, delete it and add it again.

Privacy

  • Everything you enter is stored on UK servers, encrypted at rest, and is only visible to you and support if you ask for help.
  • One exception, and it is yours to choose: if you use the assistant or dictate a note, the text or the recording is processed by OVHcloud AI Endpoints in France, under the UK adequacy decision, and is not kept or used for training. Nothing is sent until you press the button that sends it.
  • The portfolio PDF is generated on demand and streamed directly to you. No cached copy is stored.
  • Patient identifiable information should not appear in reflective accounts.

Frequently asked questions

Can I import CPD certificates from before I started using Sessional?
Upload them to the CPD evidence store, free for your first 50 files, and attach one to each CPD entry as you add it. See CPD evidence and certificates.
How does the tracker handle part-time nurses or returning from a career break?
The 450-hour target still applies to your active revalidation. The tracker shows the hours you have logged, so you can see where you stand before submission.
Is the revalidation portfolio endorsed by the NMC?
No. The portfolio is your evidence, not an NMC-endorsed document.
Does the tracker cover nursing associates?
The tracker covers nurses and midwives. Nursing associates are not yet supported.
