Concerning Fatima Hajee, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 86Y1704E).
Decision date: 21 April 2026
In plain English
The NMC agreed an application from adult nurse Fatima Hajee for removal from its register, in a decision dated 21 April 2026. Referrals had raised concerns including alleged incorrect vaccinations, inadequate record keeping and incomplete examinations. No allegation was found proved by a statutory committee. The NMC's Assistant Registrar was satisfied she no longer intends to work as a registered nurse and that the allegations were not likely to result in a striking-off order.
Charges
Referrals received on 27 August 2024 and 9 October 2024 alleged that she: failed to prioritise work and/or manage time, in that she was late seeing patients and/or did not see them in the appropriate order; administered incorrect vaccinations on one or more occasion; failed to complete records of consultations adequately or at all and attached the wrong patient details to a cervical smear sample; failed to complete examinations adequately or at all and did not process two smear samples; left a patient's record open which another patient was able to view; and did not take appropriate steps to maintain a patient's dignity whilst they were undressing for a smear test. No allegation has been found substantively proved by a statutory committee.
Findings
An Assistant Registrar, exercising delegated authority under Rule 14 of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (Education, Registration and Registration Appeals) Rules 2004, agreed Fatima Hajee's application for agreed removal from the NMC register. No allegation against her has been found substantively proved; she does not accept the concerns in their entirety but accepts she did not take appropriate steps to maintain a patient's dignity whilst they were undressing for a smear test. The Assistant Registrar was satisfied that she no longer intends to work as a registered nurse, that the allegations are not likely to result in a striking-off order, and that the public interest is best served by agreeing the removal. The decision is published for twelve months from 21 April 2026.
