Concerning Vaisakh Thankappan Pillai Sreedevi, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 19J0694O).
Decision date: 7 April 2026 · Hearing started 7 April 2026
In plain English
The NMC found that Vaisakh Sreedevi, a registered nurse, was the subject of a fitness to practise hearing on 7 April 2026 concerning a misconduct and health case. Five charges were proved by his agreement under a Consensual Panel Determination. The panel held the hearing entirely in private to protect his privacy, so the details of the charges have not been published. The panel decided his fitness to practise is impaired and imposed a 12-month suspension order with review.
Charges
Five charges were proved by way of a Consensual Panel Determination. The case concerned both misconduct and health concerns. The substantive details of the charges were not made public as the hearing was held entirely in private under Rule 19 of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (Fitness to Practise) Rules 2004 (as amended).
Findings
The panel accepted a Consensual Panel Determination by which Mr Sreedevi admitted Charges 1 to 5. The hearing was held entirely in private under Rule 19 to protect his privacy, so the panel's reasoning on facts, misconduct and impairment is not in the public record. The panel determined that his fitness to practise is impaired and imposed a 12-month suspension order with a review, together with an interim suspension order for 18 months.
