Erasure (struck off the register)
Added to MedicWatch: 8 July 2026Report a correction
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 Temitope Egbinola Adesiyan, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 21C0558O).
Decision date: 10 June 2026 · Hearing started 10 June 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Investigating Committee found that Temitope Egbinola Adesiyan's entry on the nursing register was incorrectly made, because her computer-based test was taken at the Yunnik test centre in Nigeria, where the NMC declared all results void after evidence of widespread fraud. The panel noted there was no information suggesting she personally used fraud. It directed the Registrar to remove her entry from the register.
Charges
That you submitted or caused to be submitted a Computer Based Test result, obtained at Yunnik Technologies Limited test centre on 22 July 2020, that was subsequently declared void by the NMC due to concerns about the manner in which tests were being conducted at the test centre; and, in light of the above, your entry on the NMC register was incorrectly made.
Findings
The panel determined that the data supported that widespread fraud was taking place at the Yunnik centre for many years and that the Registrar was justified in deeming any test taken there invalid, so an entry in the register that depended on a CBT taken at that centre was incorrectly made. The panel noted the absence of any information supporting that Miss Adesiyan had potentially committed fraud, and that it was not for the panel to determine whether fraud was used by her. It directed the Registrar to remove her entry from the register under Article 26(7) of the Nursing and Midwifery Order 2001. No interim order was made: her registration had already lapsed in March 2024 for non-payment of the registration fee.
