Between April 2017 and March 2018 3964 people from the EU left the NMC register.
Over the same period, only 805 EU midwives and nurses joined the register compared with 6382 the year before – a drop of 87%.
At the end of March 2018 there were 690,278 midwives and nurses on the NMC register – 495 fewer than at the end of March 2017.
However, the number of UK-trained nurses and midwives registered to work appears to be stabilising after a period of continued decline. Those joining the register for the first time is at its highest level for four years while 4034 fewer people left the register.
The number of midwives and nurses joining the register from outside the EU has also risen for the fourth consecutive year with 1093 more midwives and nurses on the register compared to March 2017.
NMC chief executive and registrar Jackie Smith said: "The number of people from the EU leaving our register remains a major concern, despite reassuring comments from senior members of government and nurse leaders. While the picture for UK trained nurses and midwives appears to be stabilising.
"We asked people why they were leaving and for the small number of EU nurses and midwives who responded it’s clear that Brexit is playing a part, while retirement and staffing levels are clear factors in the decision of UK nurses and midwives to leave the profession.
"The government has announced an increase in undergraduate training places and those responsible for workforce planning should continue to look at what can be done to better support the nursing profession at this difficult time."
