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 Nicola Ann Mackie, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 06I0722S).
Decision date: 15 May 2026 · Hearing started 15 May 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Investigating Committee imposed an interim suspension order on nurse Nicola Ann Mackie for 18 months at a hearing on 15 May 2026. Mrs Mackie was not present and not represented at the hearing. The NMC's case examiners have not yet decided whether there is a case to answer, and a panel will review the order within six months and every six months after that.
Findings
The panel decided to make an interim suspension order for a period of 18 months. Unless Mrs Mackie's case has already been concluded or there has been a material change of circumstances, a panel will review the interim suspension order at a review meeting within the next six months and every six months thereafter. At any review hearing the panel may revoke the interim order, confirm the interim suspension order, or replace it with an interim conditions of practice order. The NMC Case Examiners are yet to decide whether there is a case to answer in relation to the allegations made against Mrs Mackie.
