Suspension(suspended from practice)
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that Edward Allen Lopez's fitness to practise was impaired by reason of misconduct. The panel found he grabbed a junior colleague's genitals in a hospital stairwell in September 2024, that the conduct was sexual in nature and amounted to harassment, but was not in pursuit of sexual gratification. Noting his admissions, apology and 25-year career without previous concerns, the panel imposed a six-month suspension order with a review, and an interim suspension order for 18 months.

Health and Care Professions CouncilParamedic
Suspension(suspended from practice)

Nursing and Midwifery CouncilNurse
Suspension(suspended from practice)
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that Olanma Monalisa Davidson's fitness to practise remains impaired.

Dental Professionals Hearings ServiceDental nurse
Appeal dismissed
The GDC tribunal decided that Sweatcha Thapa's appeal should be dismissed. Ms Thapa, listed on the register as a dental nurse, had appealed against the Registrar's decision to refuse her registration as a dental therapist and dental hygienist.

Nursing and Midwifery CouncilNurse
Voluntary erasure accepted(voluntary removal from the register)
The NMC decided that registered nurse Jinku Mary Joseph could leave the register by agreement.

Health and Care Professions CouncilParamedic
Suspension(suspended from practice)
The panel suspended paramedic Benjamin Shepherd for 12 months after finding serious misconduct involving explicit photographs and inappropriate comments. Some conduct was sexual in nature, but sexual motivation was not proved. Several allegations were discontinued, and a proved offensive gesture was not serious misconduct.

A separate interim suspension covers the appeal period before the substantive order takes effect.
