Nursing and Midwifery Council determination — interim orders hearing

Interim restrictions imposed — 18 months

The regulator’s term: interim order imposed

What does “interim restrictions imposed” mean?

An interim order is a precautionary restriction imposed before the regulator's investigation is complete. It is not a finding of fault — the underlying allegations have not yet been adjudicated.

Concerning Mrs Kelly Rachael Repton, midwife (Nursing and Midwifery Council 24D1312E).

Decision date: 2 April 2026 · Hearing started 2 April 2026

In plain English

The NMC's Investigating Committee imposed an 18-month interim conditions of practice order on Mrs Kelly Rachael Repton, a registered midwife, on 2 April 2026. The conditions limit her midwifery practice to a single substantive employer, require direct supervision when managing cardiotocography (CTG, the monitoring of a baby's heartbeat in labour) until she has been signed off as competent in CTG interpretation, and require monthly meetings with her supervisor on CTG safety and escalation. The substantive allegations have not yet been adjudicated; the order is precautionary.

Findings

The NMC Case Examiners have not yet decided whether there is a case to answer in relation to the allegations. The order was imposed by the Investigating Committee as a precautionary measure pending the outcome of the investigation. The conditions focus on cardiotocography (CTG) interpretation and supervised midwifery practice.
