In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee ordered Razvan Luca's striking off after reviewing a suspension imposed for medication-related misconduct. It found no new evidence of reflection, improved practice or insight, and noted his lack of engagement and the DBS barring information before it. The panel found continuing impairment and concluded that further suspension would serve no useful purpose. The order was to take effect at the end of 26 October 2026.
Charges
The original proved charges concerned unsecured medication trolleys, keys and a medication box; failure to report missing medication; and administering incorrect medication doses. Some charges were admitted. This meeting reviewed the resulting suspension order.
Findings
The panel found continuing impairment on public protection and public interest grounds. It found no new evidence of reflection, remediation, developing insight or strengthened practice, and noted non-engagement and the DBS barring information before it. It ordered striking off at the end of 26 October 2026, concluding that further suspension would serve no useful purpose.
