NMC panel imposes 18-month interim conditions on nurse Raphael Oguntuga during investigation

Findings

At a New Interim Order Hearing on 16 July 2026, the NMC's Investigating Committee panel made an interim conditions of practice order for 18 months. The conditions limit Mr Oguntuga's nursing practice to South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, prevent him from being the nurse in charge of any shift, and require four-weekly supervision meetings covering his management of challenging patient behaviours, line-manager reports to his NMC case officer, and a reflective piece on his learning from the incident. The panel considered that the investigation was at an early stage and required contact with a number of witnesses, and determined that 18 months was necessary to allow the NMC investigation to progress and for the conditions to be implemented and monitored. The order must be reviewed within six months and every six months thereafter. The NMC Case Examiners are yet to decide whether there is a case to answer.
