512 Nigerian nurses to face probe in UK over 'fraudulent' test results

This was disclosed by the NMC in a statement posted on its website on Friday, May 5, 2023.

The NMC said it was writing to the affected nurses and midwives to explain what happened and to also inform them that it was opening cases to determine whether or not they gained entry on the council’s register through fraudulent or other unlawful means.

Pulse reports that the NMC usually deploys the test of competence, which comes in two main parts, as a way to assess the skills and knowledge of applicants who signify interest to join its register from overseas.
