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.

Decision date: 13 August 2026 · Hearing started 19 May 2026 and ended 13 August 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that Sunilkumar Pulickal Sasi, a registered adult nurse, was impaired by reason of misconduct. The panel found charges 2a to 2f proved and charge 3 proved by admission; charge 1 was not proved. It imposed a striking-off order, removing him from the register, and an 18-month interim suspension order. The whole hearing was held in private under Rule 19, so the details of the charges are not in the public record.
Charges
Type of case: misconduct. The substance of the charges is not in the public record, because an application to hold the entirety of the hearing in private was made and accepted under Rule 19 of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (Fitness to Practise) Rules 2004. The published reasons record only that charge 3 was proved by admission, that charges 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e and 2f were proved, and that charge 1 was not proved.
Findings
The Fitness to Practise Committee found Mr Pulickal Sasi's fitness to practise impaired and imposed a striking-off order. It also imposed an interim suspension order for 18 months. The panel's reasoning on facts, impairment and sanction is not in the public record, as the hearing was held entirely in private under Rule 19.
