Police report requirement - is that a DBS/CRB?
I am just looking at the documentation I need to apply for registration with the NZ Midwifery Council. Some of it is the same as for IZ, but they require it seperately.
One of the items is a police report. Is this just an enhanced CRB / DBS check? Or is it something more complicated than that?
Also, any idea the correct procedure to go through to get a medical declaration (again I will need it twice)?
And on the off chance anyone knows, how do I get a report from the NMC confirming I am held in good stead?
TIA

I'm not sure if this helps:
Police Cert:

Health Report:

I'm not sure about the nursing side of things but I hope that helps a little?

Thank you Helen, it would seem there's a special police form for this.

No worries
We also got ours back within ten working days too, so much quicker (and simpler) than CRBs!
I'm pretty sure I've also seen nurses lurking on the forum somewhere. They will be of more use than I on said subject.
All the best!

Hi What To Do!
The police certificate is different to a CRB check. It is a police certificate from ACRO. You have to print the forms off from their website, get some passport photos and send off paper work. A couple of weeks later you get an A4 certificate with your mug shot on it saying whether you are clean or not! We went through this (twice!) and it was around 50 quid for each cert.

Police - You need to get this from ACRO http://www.acro.police.uk/police_certificates.aspx
Medical - You need to get this done with one of the doctors on the 'approved' panel.

Just a wee tip!
Make sure you read every word on the applications. And get someone else to check. I missed things which has made my start here truly frustrating!

For your midwifery registration it's a pretty simple visit to your GP, do not pay for one of the docs on the visa panel to do this as its not necessary (and would be a huge waste of money). Download the form from the Midwifery Council website and just take it to your regular GP. They'll probably charge you (mine was about £20) and most likely wont even see you to do it, I dropped mine off with the receptionist and collected it again all filled in. Its basically a one page form that they sign to say your generally medically fit to practice as a midwife.
Your visa medical is a whole different ball game. For that you'll need to find one of the approved panel of doctors and its a full on medical with xrays, bloods and a full exam.
As far as the NMC is concerned I'm sure there's a link on their website for the form you need to fill in but I just called them up and asked for one. They'll also charge but again I think its about £20.

The Nursing council and Immigration were happy with a certified copy as far as I can remember
