Does british wife still need to take IELTS for NMC registration?

As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, British citizens, including those married to British nationals, are generally exempt from taking the IELTS for NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) registration. However, if the individual is not a native English speaker or has not completed their nursing education in English, they may still be required to provide proof of English proficiency through IELTS or an equivalent test. It's always best to check the latest NMC guidelines or consult their official website for the most current information.
