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 Helen Joyce Champion, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 85F0915E).
Decision date: 10 April 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Assistant Registrar decided to remove Helen Joyce Champion, a registered nurse, from the NMC register by agreement. The application followed a referral raising concerns that she failed to respond appropriately to medical incidents, to document incidents accurately, or to maintain a resident's dignity. No allegation has been proved by a statutory committee, but the registrant does not intend to return to nursing and the Assistant Registrar found removal was in the public interest.
Charges
On 22 September 2023 the NMC received a referral raising concerns that Helen Joyce Champion: failed to respond appropriately to medical incidents; failed to accurately document incidents; and failed to maintain a resident's dignity when carrying out an assessment. The registrant did not admit the concerns. The matter was referred to case examiners but the investigation had not been completed. No allegation has been substantively proved by a statutory committee.
Findings
On 6 November 2025 the NMC received an application from Helen Joyce Champion for agreed removal from the register. An Assistant Registrar agreed to removal, taking into account the application form, the documents from the investigation, the registrant's interests and the public interest. The Assistant Registrar was satisfied that there was enough information to assess seriousness and public interest without completing the investigation, that the registrant no longer intends to work as a registered nurse, that the allegations were not likely to result in a striking-off order, and that the public interest was best served by agreeing the application.
