What does “interim restrictions imposed” mean?
An interim order is a precautionary restriction imposed before the regulator's investigation is complete. It is not a finding of fault — the underlying allegations have not yet been adjudicated.
Concerning Gayna Plummer, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 20F0394E).
Decision date: 26 August 2026 · Hearing started 26 August 2026
In plain English
The NMC’s Investigating Committee decided to impose 18 months of interim conditions on Gayna Plummer. These restrict employment and nurse-in-charge duties and require supervised medication work until competence is demonstrated through repeated assessments. Monthly assessments then continue. Case examiners have not yet decided whether there is a case to answer, and no allegations were determined.
Charges
Case examiners have not yet decided whether there is a case to answer. The interim conditions do not establish the allegations.
Findings
The Investigating Committee imposed 18 months of interim conditions. Plummer must have one substantive employer, avoid agency work and not be registered nurse in charge. Medication management and administration require direct supervision until three consecutive successful assessments on different days over three months, with no failed assessment in that period. Monthly medication assessments must continue thereafter; a failure requires an immediate return to direct supervision. Monthly reflective discussions and pre-review reporting are required.
