Concerning Nadine Wilson, midwife (Nursing and Midwifery Council 97Y0127O).
Decision date: 8 September 2026 · Hearing started 8 September 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee extended Nadine Wilson's suspension for six months after reviewing earlier midwifery competence failings. It acknowledged further training and reflection but found insufficient evidence showing how learning had improved clinical practice or would prevent the failings recurring. The panel found continuing impairment and allowed more time to demonstrate improvement. The further suspension was to begin at the end of 17 October 2026.
Charges
The original admitted charges concerned lack of competence in midwifery, including medication preparation and administration, observations and fetal monitoring, recognising and escalating deterioration, documentation and communication, and failure to complete undertakings. This hearing reviewed the resulting suspension.
Findings
The panel found continuing impairment on public protection and public interest grounds. It acknowledged further training and reflection but found insufficient analysis of the incidents or evidence that learning had improved clinical competence. It imposed a further six-month suspension, effective at the end of 17 October 2026, to allow further reflection and strengthened practice.
