Registered nurses and registered midwives who have completed at least a three-year or 4,600-hour study programme with theoretical and practical education must hold a professional college or university degree obtained in the Republic of Slovenia.

All other graduate nurses, graduate midwives and higher vocational college nurses must have a degree from a professional college or a higher vocational college or a faculty in the Republic of Slovenia or in the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia obtained before 25 June 1991, or a degree in nursing care or midwifery officially recognised in the Republic of Slovenia, or a foreign professional title recognised as equivalent to a Slovenian professional title obtained under the act governing the recognition and evaluation of education and completed professional examination.

Health professionals submit a single application for entry in the register of nursing and midwifery services and for the issuance of a licence. A licence may be withdrawn in case a major professional error is made.

The procedure for withdrawing the licence may be carried out ex officio or upon a proposal by the Chamber or a professional association for nursing or midwifery, or upon a proposal by an employer.

** if the provider is convicted for an intentionally committed criminal offence prosecuted ex officio with a sentence of imprisonment of six months or more – for the duration of the sentence;

** if the provider fails to obtain evidence regarding the fulfilment of conditions for obtaining or renewing the licence in a legitimate manner, or has provided false information in order to obtain or renew the licence – up to four years;

** if a major professional deficiency or error on the part of the provider resulted in permanent and serious consequences for a patient’s health or their death – up to seven years;

** if the provider is convicted for an intentionally committed criminal offence prosecuted ex officio in connection with the provision of nursing or midwifery services – for the duration of the sentence.
