What does “struck off the register” mean?
Being struck off (the regulator calls this "erasure") removes the practitioner from the register. They are no longer permitted to practise this profession in the UK. Erasure can be reviewed after a minimum of five years, but is otherwise indefinite.
Concerning Sandra Mohamed, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 03K0793O).
Decision date: 27 May 2026 · Hearing started 27 May 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that Sandra Mohamed's fitness to practise remained impaired by misconduct and lack of competence, relating to medication administration errors and failed drug competency assessments in 2019. At a review hearing on 27 May 2026, the panel replaced her suspension order with a striking-off order, noting she had disengaged from the NMC and had not shown insight or strengthened practice.
Charges
Charges found proved at the original hearing included that she administered Warfarin to Patient L when it had not been prescribed by the ward doctor on 21 and 22 January 2019, and that during observed drug rounds and drug competencies between March and July 2019 she did not carry out basic safety checks, did not consistently check patients for allergies, did not check every page of the kardex, did not identify a potential drug error, prepared to administer one medication patch when two were prescribed, did not administer paracetamol when instructed by a senior colleague, and did not notice she had not successfully injected insulin to a patient. Her fitness to practise was found impaired by reason of misconduct and lack of competence.
Findings
At the fourth review of a substantive order first imposed on 28 July 2023, the panel found that Mrs Mohamed's fitness to practise remains impaired on both public protection and public interest grounds. It found no new evidence of insight, remediation or strengthened practice, noted her stated disengagement from the NMC, and determined that a further period of suspension would not serve any useful purpose. The panel replaced the suspension order with a striking-off order, to take effect at the end of 31 May 2026 in accordance with Article 30(1).
