NMC CBT Practice Test 2026 – All-in-One Guide to Master Your Nursing and Midwifery Council Exam!

The Nursing and Midwifery Knowledge section of the CBT specifically emphasizes the Principles of health and wellbeing because it is foundational to the practice of nursing and midwifery. This topic covers essential concepts related to promoting health, preventing illness, managing chronic conditions, and understanding the holistic needs of patients. It involves recognizing the social, emotional, and physical factors that contribute to patient care and outcomes, thereby equipping candidates with the knowledge necessary to support patients in achieving optimal health.

In contrast, while research and data analysis, financial management in healthcare, and psychological assessment techniques each play important roles in nursing and midwifery, they are not the primary focus of the Nursing and Midwifery Knowledge section in the CBT. Research and data analysis provide essential skills for evidence-based practice, but they are considered more as supportive knowledge rather than core principles for immediate application in patient care. Financial management, although crucial for the operational aspect of healthcare organizations, falls outside the scope of direct patient care knowledge expected in the CBT. Psychological assessment techniques are valuable in assessing and planning care for patients with mental health needs, yet they are more specialized and not as universally foundational as the principles of health and wellbeing.
