What does “interim restrictions imposed” mean?
An interim order is a precautionary restriction imposed before the regulator's investigation is complete. It is not a finding of fault — the underlying allegations have not yet been adjudicated.
Concerning Rinah Bheekharry, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 06F0229O).
Decision date: 30 July 2026 · Hearing started 30 July 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Investigating Committee decided that nurse Rinah Bheekharry should be made subject to an interim suspension order for 18 months while its investigation continues. The committee heard the case at a virtual hearing on 30 July 2026, where Miss Bheekharry was present and represented. The NMC's case examiners have not yet decided whether there is a case to answer, so no findings have been made against her. The order will be reviewed within six months.
Charges
The published determination does not set out the allegations. The NMC states that its Case Examiners are yet to decide whether there is a case to answer in relation to the allegations made against Miss Bheekharry.
Findings

The determination records that a panel will review the order at a review meeting within the next six months and every six months thereafter, and that at any review hearing the reviewing panel may revoke the interim order, confirm it, or replace it with an interim conditions of practice order. The register records Miss Bheekharry as a Registered Nurse (Adult) from 8 June 2006 and as a Nurse Independent / Supplementary Prescriber from 9 September 2021.
