Decision date: 19 May 2026 · Hearing started 12 May 2026 and ended 19 May 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that agency nurse Azeez Adewole Adewumi failed to adequately assess a post-operative patient during a 2023 night shift in Worcestershire, including not carrying out a timely bladder scan, kept inaccurate patient records, and did not treat the patient with respect and dignity. The panel found his fitness to practise impaired and imposed a 12-month conditions of practice order. A dishonesty charge was found not proved.
Charges
That, as a registered nurse on the night shift of 8 to 9 August 2023, he failed to carry out an adequate assessment of Patient A (no timely bladder scan; did not ask about or assess her vomiting); failed to offer an alternative to anti-sickness tablets; failed to keep accurate records, omitting Patient A's bladder pain and inability to pass urine and recording inaccurate entries ('no signs of pain noted', 'complained of sore throat', 'appears to be settled', oxygen administered when it was not); that his conduct was dishonest; failed to escalate concerns about Patient A's inability to pass urine; used an inappropriate technique when administering eye drops; and failed to treat Patient A with respect and/or dignity.
Findings
The panel found proved that Mr Adewumi failed to carry out an adequate assessment of Patient A, failed to offer an alternative to anti-sickness tablets, failed to keep accurate records (both omissions and inaccurate entries) and failed to treat Patient A with respect and/or dignity. The dishonesty charge, failure to escalate and inappropriate eye-drop technique charges were found not proved; the NMC offered no evidence on four record-keeping sub-charges. The panel found the proved facts amounted to misconduct and that his fitness to practise is impaired on both public protection and public interest grounds.
Mitigating and aggravating factors
Mitigating factors
Mr Adewumi apologised early on for how Patient A felt; has completed some relevant training courses; concerns are isolated to one shift and one patient.
Aggravating factors
Actual harm caused to Patient A through Mr Adewumi's actions; limited insight.
