Nursing and Midwifery Council determination — voluntary removal
Voluntary removal from the register
The regulator’s term: voluntary erasure accepted
What does “voluntary removal from the register” mean?
The practitioner asked to be removed from the register and the regulator accepted the request. This may happen during or after a fitness-to-practise case.
Concerning Lisa Marie Maidment, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 91I0133E).
Decision date: 26 March 2026
In plain English
The NMC accepted Lisa Marie Maidment's application for agreed removal from the nursing register on 26 March 2026. Maidment is a registered adult nurse from Devon who worked as a Practice Nurse Lead. The NMC's Assistant Registrar was satisfied that she no longer intends to work as a registered nurse, that a striking-off order was not a likely outcome, and that the public interest was best served by agreeing the removal. No allegation had been substantively proved.
Charges
While working as a Practice Nurse Lead at a GP surgery, it is alleged that Lisa Marie Maidment: acted outside her scope of competence; failed to escalate patients and seek clinical authorisation when needed; failed to make adequate records; demonstrated poor hygiene and infection control; failed to monitor fridge temperatures; was given time off work and made parking and mileage claims for training courses she did not attend. No allegation has yet been substantively proved by a statutory committee.
Findings
The Assistant Registrar agreed to remove Lisa Marie Maidment from the NMC register. The Assistant Registrar was satisfied that: Lisa Marie Maidment no longer intends to work as a registered nurse; there was sufficient information to make a decision; a striking-off order is not a likely or necessary outcome; and the public interest is best served by agreeing the removal. The alleged dishonesty does not involve vulnerable victims or pose a direct risk to patients and is not at the most serious end of the scale.
