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 Linda Catherine Morris, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 79G1501E).
Decision date: 7 May 2026
In plain English
The NMC agreed to remove nurse Linda Catherine Morris from its register at her own request on 7 May 2026. A referral had alleged that she failed to demonstrate the standards of knowledge, skill and judgement to practise without supervision as a Band 6 occupational health nurse; she said she had not been trained for the role. The investigation was not completed, and no allegation was found proved. An Assistant Registrar was satisfied she no longer intends to work as a registered nurse.
Charges
It is alleged that Linda Catherine Morris failed to demonstrate the standards of knowledge, skill and judgement to practise without supervision as a Band 6 Occupational Health Nurse. She has not clearly indicated whether she accepts the concerns, said she did not have any training for the role, and said she was employed as a Registered Nurse rather than a specialist. The matter was referred to the case examiners but the NMC investigation was not finished; no allegation has been found proved.
Findings
An NMC Assistant Registrar agreed Linda Catherine Morris's 26 February 2026 application for agreed removal from the register. The Assistant Registrar was satisfied that she no longer intends to work as a registered nurse, that there was enough information to decide on the seriousness of the concerns without completing the investigation, that the allegations are not likely to result in a striking-off order, that there are no other good reasons requiring further consideration of the allegations at this time, and that the public interest is best served by agreeing the removal. A record of the decision is published for twelve months from 7 May 2026.
