In plain English
The NMC decided to accept Philip Banks's application for agreed removal from the register after considering concerns about delegation, medication administration, records, controlled drugs and sleeping on duty. He accepted some concerns, but no allegation had been substantively proved. The Assistant Registrar found that accepting his removal best served the public interest.
Charges
The NMC received allegations concerning delegation of patient care and medication administration, related records, administration of controlled drugs without a witness, and sleeping on duty. Mr Banks accepted some concerns, including delegating patient care and administration to care staff, but no allegation had been substantively proved.
Findings
The Assistant Registrar agreed Philip Banks's application for removal, finding that he no longer intended to work as a nurse, that the allegations were unlikely to result in striking off, that no other good reason required further consideration, and that agreed removal best served the public interest.
