Concerning Margaret Constantine, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 20A0738O).
Decision date: 11 September 2026 · Hearing started 11 September 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee ordered Margaret Constantine's striking off following a review of earlier failures to assist during a medical emergency. The panel found no evidence of developing insight or steps to address the concerns, and found her fitness to practise remained impaired. It concluded that further suspension would serve no useful purpose. The striking-off order was to take effect at the end of 14 October 2026.
Charges
The original proved charges concerned failing to commence or assist cardiopulmonary resuscitation during a medical emergency on 1 August 2020, and failing to obtain, use or assist others to use a defibrillator. This hearing reviewed the resulting suspension order.
Findings
The panel found continuing impairment on public protection and public interest grounds. It found no material change, no evidence of developing insight or remediation, and a continuing risk of repetition. It decided that further suspension would serve no useful purpose and replaced the suspension with a striking-off order effective at the end of 14 October 2026.
