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 Arlan Vicente, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 19G0174O).
Decision date: 26 May 2026 · Hearing started 13 May 2026 and ended 26 May 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that Arlan Vicente's fitness to practise was impaired by reason of misconduct and imposed a striking-off order, with an 18-month interim suspension order. The hearing was held entirely in private under Rule 19 of the Fitness to Practise Rules, so the details of the charges and findings are not in the public record. The published record confirms that some charges were found proved and others not proved.

Findings
The hearing was held entirely in private under Rule 19 of the Fitness to Practise Rules, so the panel's findings are not in the public record.
