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 Nuzhat Hussain, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 22A1928E).
Decision date: 26 February 2026
In plain English
The NMC agreed to remove Nuzhat Hussain from the register after Nuzhat Hussain applied for agreed removal. The decision states that no allegation had yet been substantively proved by a statutory committee, and that the public interest was best served by allowing Nuzhat Hussain to leave the register.
Charges
The referral raised a concern about Nuzhat Hussain’s fitness to practise. It’s alleged that Nuzhat Hussain failed to demonstrate the standards of knowledge, skill and judgement required to practise without supervision as a Band 5 nurse. We investigated the issue and on 24 June 2024 the case examiners considered this case and decided there is a case for Nuzhat Hussain to answer. They recommended undertakings which Nuzhat Hussain accepted.
Findings
An NMC Assistant Registrar agreed to Nuzhat Hussain's removal from the NMC register. The decision states that no allegation against Nuzhat Hussain had yet been found substantively proved by a statutory committee, that Nuzhat Hussain no longer intended to work as a registered professional, and that the public interest was best served by agreeing removal.
