EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

Persons undertaking courses leading to first registration on certain Parts of the Register maintained under section 10 of the Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors Act 1979 (c. 36) are to be treated as student nurses for these purposes. This Order corrects an error in the principal Order concerning identification of appropriate Parts of the Register.
