The QA Link went live on 17 August 2020. QA Link is the NMC’s modernised IT system for supporting education quality assurance activities. The QA Link brings together the functionality of the approved programme database and the previous QA Hub system.

The approach to quality assurance is to be completed through the gateway process. Full quality assurance processes are outlined in the NMC QA Handbook.   

Updates to system:

The NMC have made several system enhancements since going live to improve user functionality, navigation, and the overall user experience. The most recent enhancement went live on 8 January 2024.
