In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that Farrah Ayub's fitness to practise was impaired by reason of misconduct, with all facts proved by her admission. The panel imposed a three-month suspension order with a review. The hearing, held in May 2026, took place entirely in private under Rule 19, so the details of the charges and findings are not in the public record. No interim order was made.
Charges
Misconduct case. All facts were proved by admission. The hearing was held entirely in private under Rule 19 of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (Fitness to Practise) Rules 2004, so the charges are not in the public record.
Findings
The Fitness to Practise Committee found all facts proved by admission and found the registrant's fitness to practise impaired by reason of misconduct. Because the entire hearing was held in private under Rule 19, the panel's detailed findings are not in the public record.
