It suspended her registration for three months and directed a review hearing.
Nursing and Midwifery CouncilNurse
Struck off the register
The NMC's Investigating Committee found that Esther Temitayo Ayelabowo's entry on the nursing register was fraudulently procured, because the Computer Based Test result she submitted from the Yunnik Technologies test centre in Nigeria on 29 March 2022 had been obtained through fraud, most likely through use of a human proxy. She completed the clinical test in under ten minutes against an allowed time of 150 minutes. The panel directed under Article 26(7) that her entry be removed from the register, with an 18-month interim suspension order covering the appeal period.
Nursing and Midwifery CouncilNurse
Voluntary removal from the register

The Assistant Registrar was satisfied that she no longer intends to work as a nurse and that the allegations were not likely to result in a striking-off order.

The original 2020 incident involved shouting at Patient A, shouting 'bastard' towards her, and banging a glass bottle on the table in her room. The panel found no evidence of insight, remorse or remediation, and a sustained lack of engagement with the regulatory process.
