Decision date: 3 August 2026 · Hearing started 3 August 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that Abigail Donkor was no longer impaired after reviewing her response to earlier dishonesty findings about undisclosed police cautions. The panel found that she had fully developed her insight, shown remorse and strengthened her practice, making repetition highly unlikely. Her suspension order will lapse when it expires.
Charges
The original panel found that Ms Donkor failed to notify her NHS trust, the DBS and the NMC about police cautions received on 26 May 2022, and acted dishonestly by seeking to mislead the organisations into believing she had no cautions.
Findings
The reviewing panel found that Ms Donkor had fully developed her insight, shown deep remorse, strengthened her practice and made the risk of repetition highly unlikely. It found that her fitness to practise was no longer impaired on either public protection or public interest grounds and allowed the suspension order to lapse on expiry.
