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 James Forbes Mcgurk Wilson, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 92I0550S).
Decision date: 16 April 2026
In plain English
The NMC found that nurse James Forbes Mcgurk Wilson should be removed from the register by agreement. The Assistant Registrar accepted his application for agreed removal on 16 April 2026. Concerns had been raised that he administered incorrect medication to a service user and was dishonest in recording the medication count. The investigation had not yet concluded and no allegation had been substantively proved. The decision will be published for twelve months.
Charges
It was alleged that the registrant administered incorrect medication to a service user and was dishonest by inaccurately recording the medication count. The matter was referred to the case examiners but the investigation had not yet concluded. No allegation had been found substantively proved by a statutory committee.
Findings
The Assistant Registrar agreed the registrant's application for removal from the NMC register under Rule 14. The Assistant Registrar was satisfied that there was enough information to make a decision about the seriousness of the concerns and the public interest, that the registrant no longer intended to work as a registered nurse, and that although allegations of dishonesty sit at the more serious end of the spectrum, the allegations were not likely to result in a striking-off order. The decision will be published for twelve months from 16 April 2026.
