The tribunal found his insight and remediation were limited and that restoring him would undermine public confidence and the safety of patients and colleagues. He must wait at least 12 months before reapplying.

While the timing and tone were inappropriate and in bad taste, this did not amount to misconduct. The tribunal found her fitness to practise was not impaired and issued no warning.

    The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee imposed a striking-off order on Susan Shuga, a registered adult nurse from London, on 26 March 2026.

The panel concluded the misconduct involved an abuse of trust and that her absence of insight, remorse, and engagement made any lesser sanction insufficient. An interim suspension order of 18 months was imposed pending appeal.
