Nursing and Midwifery Council determination — review hearing
Struck off the register
The regulator’s term: erasure
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 Kahyana Emari Davis, midwife (Nursing and Midwifery Council 21A1556E).
Decision date: 16 March 2026 · Hearing started 16 March 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee directed a striking-off order against Kahyana Emari Davis, a registered midwife from Bristol, on 16 March 2026 at a substantive order review hearing. Her registration had been suspended over two incidents of dishonesty in a clinical setting that put a vulnerable patient at risk, but she had not engaged with the NMC since September 2024 and had not demonstrated insight or remediation. The panel concluded a further suspension would serve no useful purpose, and the striking-off order will take effect on 23 April 2026 when the current suspension expires.
Charges
The original substantive matters concerned two incidents of dishonesty in a clinical setting which had been found to put a vulnerable patient at risk of physical harm. The full original charges are not restated in this review determination.
Findings
The panel found Ms Davis's fitness to practise remains impaired. Ms Davis had not engaged with the NMC since September 2024 and had not provided any new information showing insight, remediation, or steps to strengthen her practice. The panel concluded the original misconduct remained unremediated and that there was a continuing risk of repetition. A finding of continuing impairment was required on both public protection and public interest grounds.
