Struck off the register
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee imposed a striking-off order on Sifiso Ncube, a registered adult nurse working in Scotland, on 24 March 2026.

The panel concluded the repeated dishonesty, deep-seated attitudinal concerns, and absence of meaningful insight made any lesser sanction insufficient to protect the public. An interim suspension order of 18 months was imposed pending appeal.
