Concerning John Craigie, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 90E0289S).
Decision date: 2 September 2026 · Hearing started 2 September 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee ordered John Craigie's striking off after reviewing earlier failures in caring for and recording a resident's fall. It found no evidence of reflection, training or steps to address the concerns and found his fitness to practise remained impaired. The panel concluded that further suspension would serve no useful purpose. The order was to take effect at the end of 8 October 2026.
Charges
The original proved charges concerned failing to examine a resident after a fall, complete observations or incident records, using an inappropriate lifting method, and failing to ensure staff recorded the fall. This meeting reviewed the resulting suspension.
Findings
The panel found continuing impairment on public protection and public interest grounds. It found no evidence of reflection, insight, training or remediation and a continuing risk of repetition. It rejected further suspension and lapse with impairment, imposing a striking-off order effective at the end of 8 October 2026.
