Concerning Laura McGuire, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 02C0128S).
Decision date: 19 August 2026 · Hearing started 17 August 2026 and ended 19 August 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that registered nurse Laura McGuire's fitness to practise is impaired. She admitted both charges against her. The committee imposed a suspension order of four months, without review, and made no interim order. The whole hearing was held in private under Rule 19, so the charges and the committee's reasons are not in the public record. The case is recorded as a misconduct case.
Charges
The hearing was held entirely in private under Rule 19 of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (Fitness to Practise) Rules 2004, following an application that was made and accepted. The details of the charges are therefore not in the public record. The published document records only that charges 1 and 2 were found proved by way of admission, and that no charges were found not proved. The case is recorded by the NMC as a misconduct case.
Findings
The panel found that Mrs McGuire’s fitness to practise is impaired and imposed a suspension order of four months, without review. It made no interim order. Because the hearing was held entirely in private under Rule 19, the panel’s reasons and the substantive content of the case are not in the public record. The published document sets out the outcome on its cover page only. Mrs McGuire was present and unrepresented at the hearing.
