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 Nazreen Bibi, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 16E0276E).

Decision date: 10 March 2026

In plain English

The NMC found that registered mental-health nurse Nazreen Bibi could be removed from the register by agreement under Rule 14, after she applied to leave the register while a fitness-to-practise concern about her work in an autism assessment team was being considered. No allegation against her was substantively proved by an NMC committee. The Assistant Registrar decided the allegations were unlikely to lead to a striking-off order and that agreed removal served the public interest.

Charges

It was alleged that Nazreen Bibi conducted inadequate patient assessments and/or produced poor quality and inaccurate assessment reports for children while working in an autism assessment team. No allegation has been found substantively proved by an NMC statutory committee.

Findings

An Assistant Registrar, exercising delegated authority under Rule 14 of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (Education, Registration and Registration Appeals) Rules 2004, agreed Nazreen Bibi's application for agreed removal from the NMC register, having taken into account her application, the case examiner decision letter, comments from the referrer, her interests and the public interest. The Registrar was satisfied that Ms Bibi no longer intends to work as a registered nurse, that the allegations are not likely to result in a striking-off order, and that the public interest is best served by agreeing the application.
