Press Rel 7/2017
The South African Nursing Council (SANC) will be conducting provincial outreach visits to nurses in nine provinces, starting on 4 September 2017. Says Ms Sizeni Mchunu, Acting Registrar of the SANC: “The purpose of the Provincial Roadshow is to offer limited walk-in services such as payment of annual fees, selling of distinguishing devices, providing information related to the SANC, etc. During the 2016 Roadshow, 42 620 receipts were issued across nine provinces, indicating that the profession is embracing this initiative.” The services that will be offered during the roadshow include: PAYMENT OF ANNUAL FEES OTHER SERVICES
SELLING OF DISTINGUISHING DEVICES
The provincial outreach plan for 2017 is published below – be sure to diarise the dates!
Says Ms Mchunu: “Unlike other professionals, nursing practitioners have six (6) months to pay their annual fee (i.e. from 1 July to 31 December every year). The SANC would like to remind nurses that their annual fee is due by 31 December. Failure to meet this deadline will mean that nurses will have to pay a restoration fee. The SANC has full understanding of the challenges facing its members on a national basis, and therefore has made an eRegister available to employers,” Ms Mchunu reiterated. “The eRegister is sufficient proof for an employer to check if all nursing practitioners are registered for the relevant year.” ENDS Official Spokesperson and person to be quoted: Ms S Mchunu
