NURSES AND MIDWIVES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1970 - SECT 12

Experimental training.

12.(1) Without prejudice to its general responsibility for the standards of
training of nurses and midwives, the Council shall have constant regard to the
improvement of methods employed in the training of nurses and midwives and may
prepare and introduce experimental training schemes.

(2) In the execution of its functions under subsection (1) the Council may
co-operate with any body interested in the preparation of experimental schemes
for the training of nurses or midwives.

(3) Where the Council is of opinion that a trial should be made of a scheme of
training and examinations, being a scheme which differs from, but which
appears to the Council to be no less efficient than, the scheme of training
and examinations for the time being required by training rules to be undergone
and passed by any person as a condition of admission to the register,
the roll of nurses or the roll of midwives, as the case may require,
the Council may, with the approval of the Ministry, by resolution adopt the
scheme for such period and in relation to such training schools as may be
specified in the resolution.

(4) A scheme of training and examinations adopted by the Council under
subsection (3) shall provide that a person who, to the satisfaction of
the Council, undergoes the training and passes the examinations specified in
that scheme in a training school and during the period specified in the
resolution of the Council adopting that scheme shall, notwithstanding anything
in training rules made by the Council, be entitled on making application to be
admitted to the register, the roll of nurses or the roll of midwives, as the
case may require.

(5) A scheme of training and examinations under this section may contain such
incidental and supplementary provisions as the Council considers necessary for
the purposes thereof.

(6) The Council may, with the approval of the Ministry, extend a scheme of
training and examinations adopted under subsection (3).
