The Uk Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has revealed that the registrations of those who passed its exams at a computer-based test (CBT) centre in Ibadan, Nigeria, could be โ€œfraudulent or incorrectโ€.

OsunDaily News reports that this was disclosed in a statement on Thursday by the NMC.

The councilย uses a test of competence (ToC) to assess the skills and knowledge of people applying to join its register from overseas.

The test has two main parts: a multiple-choice CBT which applicants usually write in their home country; and a practical test known as the OSCE which people take in the UK, The Cable reports.

The NMC, in the statement, said an organisation called Pearson VUE which runs the CBT programme on its behalf, recently raised the alarm of โ€œanomalous dataโ€ at one of its third-party CBT centres in Ibadan.

The NMC said Pearson VUE stopped testing at the centre immediately.

A total of 1,970 candidates took their CBT at this centre, of whom 512 are on the NMC register.

The statement reads: โ€œA total of 512 people on our register (around five percent of all the professionals on our register who qualified in Nigeria) took their CBT at this test centre.

โ€œWeโ€™re writing to them to set out whatโ€™s happened and to tell them weโ€™re opening cases to determine whether or not they gained fraudulent or incorrect entry to the register.

โ€œMore people have applied to join the register but are not yet on it, therefore they canโ€™t practise as a nurse or midwife. Weโ€™ve paused their applications.

โ€œWeโ€™re writing to these applicants to ask them to retake the test, and to request more information that weโ€™ll use to make a final decision about their applications.

โ€œPearson VUE has reviewed all data relating to the NMCโ€™s CBT from every test site globally, and there is no evidence of similar activity at any other site.


โ€œOur paramount concern is to maintain the integrity of the register to protect the public. At the same time, itโ€™s critical we approach any investigations about individuals objectively and transparently, avoiding any unfair discrimination.โ€
