Nursing and Midwifery Council determination — substantive hearing
Suspended from practice — 1 year
The regulator’s term: suspension
What does “suspended from practice” mean?
A suspension is a fixed-term pause on the right to practise. The practitioner cannot work in the regulated profession during the suspension. At the end of the period the suspension may be extended, replaced with another sanction, or lifted on review.
Concerning Malik Spencer, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 20K0350E).
Decision date: 9 March 2026 · Hearing started 2 March 2026 and ended 9 March 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that registered nurse Malik Spencer's fitness to practise was impaired in a Health case heard entirely in private. The panel imposed a suspension order for 12 months with a review hearing at the end of that period, and an interim suspension order of 18 months to cover any appeal. The substantive details of the charges were not made public because the hearing was held under Rule 19.
Charges
This was a Health case. The hearing was held entirely in private under Rule 19 of the Nursing and Midwifery (Fitness to Practise) Rules 2004, so the substantive details of the charges are not in the public record. The cover sheet records that there were two charges, both of which were found proved.
Findings
The cover sheet records that Charges 1 and 2 were found proved (Charge 2 by admission in relation to the past). The panel found Mr Spencer's fitness to practise to be currently impaired. The substantive findings are not in the public record because the hearing was held in private under Rule 19.
