Decision date: 13 July 2026 · Hearing started 1 December 2025 and ended 13 July 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that Prince Chigozie Aneke's fitness to practise was impaired by misconduct and made a striking-off order. The panel found proved a series of failings at two care homes in 2023, including an insulin error, failures to monitor and escalate care of vulnerable residents, repeated medication dispensing errors and failures to work cooperatively with colleagues. It concluded he had shown extremely limited insight. An 18-month interim suspension order was also imposed.
Charges
While employed at Bonnyholm Care Nursing Home (May to July 2023) and Pinewood Nursing Home (August to December 2023), charges found proved included: incorrectly administering Humulin M3 insulin instead of Humulin 1 and not completing an incident form; failing to record, act on, escalate or hand over a resident's lack of urinary output; not conducting observations of residents as instructed by paramedics and the nurse in charge; not responding for around an hour to a colleague's request for assistance with a screaming resident; inappropriately requesting an ambulance to re-catheterise a resident; stating he would not administer PRN pain relief to an end-of-life resident unless she asked; administering Parkinson's medication directly into a resident's mouth and not ensuring the full dose was swallowed; failing to locate stocked medication; multiple dispensing errors in a single medication round; and failures to work cooperatively with colleagues, including shouting at a carer, refusing handovers to team leaders, leaving a shift early and refusing to assist in verifying a resident's death. Several charges were found not proved and two had no case to answer.
Findings
The panel found that the facts proved amounted to misconduct representing serious departures from the Code, with a pattern of unsafe clinical practice, failures to monitor vulnerable residents and escalate risks, and unprofessional communication that it considered attitudinal in nature. It concluded he had demonstrated extremely limited insight, had not taken meaningful steps to remedy the concerns, and was liable to repeat the misconduct, finding his fitness to practise impaired on both public protection and public interest grounds. The panel decided to make a striking-off order, directing the registrar to strike him off the register, together with an interim suspension order of 18 months.
