The NMC's Assistant Registrar accepted Judith Anne Cooper's application for agreed removal from the register while concerns about an alcohol-related driving conviction and an alleged workplace incident were unresolved. The decision states that she acknowledged the conviction, denied attending work under the influence, and that no allegation had been substantively proved by an NMC committee.

Findings
