Concerning Kevin James Knight, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 01A0199E).
Decision date: 16 April 2026 · Hearing started 15 April 2026 and ended 16 April 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee, sitting as a Substantive Meeting, decided that Kevin James Knight, a registered nurse, has impaired fitness to practise on health grounds, and imposed a 12-month suspension order with review, together with an 18-month interim suspension order. The case was heard entirely in private under Rule 19 of the Nursing and Midwifery Fitness to Practise Rules, so the underlying details are not published.
Charges
This was a Health case considered at a Substantive Meeting. A direction under Rule 19 of the Nursing and Midwifery (Fitness to Practise) Rules Order of Council 2004 was made for all matters to be heard in private. The substantive details of the charges are therefore not in the public record.
