Concerning Agnes Cobbina, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 69Y0860E).
Decision date: 19 August 2026 · Hearing started 19 August 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that Agnes Cobbina remained impaired after she provided no new evidence of insight, remorse or remediation following findings about her response to a resident's critical condition. The panel found a risk of repetition, decided that further suspension would serve no useful purpose and ordered her removal from the register.
Charges
The original panel found that Ms Cobbina failed to communicate the seriousness and worsening of a resident's condition to the ambulance service, monitor the resident sufficiently, administer CPR in the absence of a DNAR order, and recognise in time that the condition had become critical.
Findings
The reviewing panel found Ms Cobbina's fitness to practise remained impaired on public protection and public interest grounds. It received no new evidence of insight, remorse or remediation and found a risk of repetition. It decided that further suspension would serve no useful purpose and ordered her removal from the register.
