In addition to being a statutory body, the NMC is also a charity registered with the Charity Commission, charity number 1091434 and in Scotland with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator, charity number SC038362. All Council members are trustees of the charity. == Role == The NMC’s role is to: * protect the health and wellbeing of the public * set standards of education, training, conduct and performance so that nurses and midwives can deliver high quality healthcare consistently throughout their careers * ensure that nurses and midwives keep their skills and knowledge up to date and uphold the NMC’s professional standards, and * have clear and transparent processes to investigate nurses and midwives who fall short of the NMC’s standards. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nursing and Midwifery Council」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
