What does “struck off the register” mean?
Being struck off (the regulator calls this "erasure") removes the practitioner from the register. They are no longer permitted to practise this profession in the UK. Erasure can be reviewed after a minimum of five years, but is otherwise indefinite.
Concerning Enkele Bonyeme, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 09K0634E).
Decision date: 3 July 2026 · Hearing started 3 July 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that Enkele Bonyeme, a registered nurse, remained impaired by reason of lack of competence when it reviewed a 30-month conditions of practice order imposed in January 2024. The panel had received no evidence that she had engaged, complied with the conditions or strengthened her practice, and concluded she was liable to repeat the failings. It replaced the order with a striking-off order, effective at the end of 5 August 2026.
Charges
The order under review arose from charges found proved that the registrant, between 15 January 2018 and 30 January 2019, failed to demonstrate the standards of knowledge, skill and judgement required to practise without supervision as a Band 5 nurse. The failings spanned wide-ranging areas of nursing practice, including catheterisation and aseptic technique, bladder scanning, administration of enemas, storage and administration of medication, drug rounds and calculations, gaining consent and communicating with patients, infection control, record keeping, and safeguarding. Her fitness to practise was found impaired by reason of lack of competence.
Findings
This was the first review of a 30-month conditions of practice order imposed on 5 January 2024 for lack of competence. The panel had received no new information or evidence of engagement from the registrant, no evidence that she had complied with the conditions, strengthened her practice, developed insight, or intended to return to nursing. It found her fitness to practise remains impaired on public protection and public interest grounds and that she is liable to repeat matters of the kind found proved. Concluding that a further conditions order would serve no useful purpose and that suspension would merely delay the inevitable, the panel replaced the order with a striking-off order, to take effect at the end of 5 August 2026.
