Concerning Claire Belfield, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 07F0667E).
Decision date: 15 September 2026 · Hearing started 15 September 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee varied Claire Belfield's interim conditions of practice. The published conditions require one non-agency employer and supervision by another registered nurse, and prohibit working as nurse in charge or the only nurse on duty. Some conditions remain private. The underlying allegations still await consideration, and this interim review does not make final findings about them.
Findings
The NMC Fitness to Practise Committee varied the existing interim conditions of practice order. Published conditions restrict nursing to one substantive non-agency employer, prohibit being nurse in charge or the sole nurse on duty, and require working on the same shift as another registered nurse without continuous direct observation. Several conditions remain private. The allegations still awaited consideration by a Fitness to Practise Committee panel; this review did not decide their merits or impose a fresh duration.
