INTERNATIONAL NURSES’ DAY 2016

MESSAGE FROM THE SOUTH AFRICAN NURSING COUNCIL ACTING CHAIRPERSON

The 12th of May is a day when nurses globally reflect on and celebrate the meaning and value of their contribution in the health care delivery. The South African Nursing Council join in celebrating the day with the nurses and midwives of our country. The theme for the 2016 International Nurses day is: Nurses: A Force for Change: Improving health systems’ resilience.

The South African Nursing Council contributes to the strengthening of health system resilience by ensuring that the Nursing Programmes being accredited prepares the graduates to acquire the necessary skills and competencies such as Monitoring and evaluation and management. Nurses are prepared to respond and take the necessary actions in cases of emergencies.

We support the strategy on re-engineering of Primary Health Care, which is Nurse driven and based on the promotion of Health, Prevention of Illness, restoration of health and alleviation of suffering. Nurses are also charged with the responsibilities of people and family centred, evidence based and continually improving in quality. This approach has been proven to be effective as well as cost effective.

SANC has the responsibility within the Nursing Act 2005 (Act 33 of 2005), to uphold and maintain professional conduct, ethics & practice standards. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for Nurses and Midwife is subsequently in the process of being established in terms of the Nursing Act, 2005 (Act 33 of 2005,) sections 39 and 59 and other legislative & policy directives. A CPD Pilot in two Provinces one predominantly urban and the other predominantly rural in nature has been finalised and the outcome of the pilot study will guide further implementation of the CPD System. CPD activities are in terms of the framework that has been used for the pilot study, been divided into four (4) thematic areas,; namely (i)the Ethical Legal domain; (ii) Area of Practice; (iii) Leadership and Management and (iv) Teaching and Research.

We pay tribute to committed Nurses and Midwives at all health care settings who are providing the much needed quality care to the health care users, sometimes under very difficult environment.

Happy International Nurses’ day.

2016 Payment for Annual Practicing Certificates

 

The South African Nursing Council is implementing a new information technology system to further improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its service delivery.  As a result, SANC resolved to use this new system to issue the 2016 Annual Practicing Certificates.  The launch of the new system will be on 1 December 2015 and will therefore influence the payment period for the 2016 Annual Fees.  SANC kindly requests practitioners to pay fees for the Annual Practicing Certificates between the period 1 December 2015 and 29 February 2016.

SANC apologises for the delayed communication in this regard and the inconvenience caused however, with the new system being introduced, stakeholders will experience the major benefits at many levels of service delivery which will be embedded in this new system.

SANC requests all employers to honour this extension period of renewing Annual Practicing Certificates and not to penalise practitioners before 29 February 2916.  Practioners are advised that the 2016 Fees and Fines payable for the year 2016 will be published in the Government Gazette as well as on the South African Nursing Council website (www.sanc.co.za) in due course.  However, practitioners should note that the 2016 Annual Fees would remain the same as for the year 2015.

Annual Fee for 2016
Registered Nurses and Midwives  R550.00
Enrolled Nurses and Midwives  R340.00
Enrolled Nursing Auxiliaries  R230.00

 

Updating of Member Register

facsimile 086 231 9094
email registrar@sanc.co.za

 

Other SANC services

The new information technology system will, in due course, cover other SANC services such as completions of training, registrations, publication of examination results, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) management, management of enquiries, provision of updated information and finance systems.  The first service however, will be the payment of the Annual Practising Certificates.  Please note that until further notice, all payments and other services by SANC will continue in the current manner.  Please do not hesitate to contact us for further clarification and information.

The South African Nursing Council would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by the delays as indicated above and will continue to engage with all relevant stakeholders.  SANC hereby wishes to ensure all stakeholders of a serious commitment to deliver effective and efficient services.
