Concerning Olanma Monalisa Davidson, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 20I0762O).
Decision date: 23 July 2026 · Hearing started 23 July 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that Olanma Monalisa Davidson's fitness to practise remains impaired. Reviewing a conditions of practice order imposed in July 2025 for misconduct in a care home, the panel found little evidence that she had complied with the conditions, undertaken training or produced a reflective piece. It replaced the conditions with a suspension order for 12 months, taking effect at the end of 12 August 2026.
Charges
The charges found proved that led to the original order were that, during a nightshift commencing on 19 May 2022, she turned off the lights when she knew residents were still awake and walking around, remained in the nurses' office for around four continuous hours, and slept on duty. On 20 May 2022, having found Resident A lying on the floor, she did not examine or assess Resident A, did not conduct observations or monitor their condition, did not consider obtaining medical assistance or document her reasoning for not doing so, did not lift Resident A from the floor in the correct manner, did not ensure Resident A was cleaned up as soon as possible following incontinence, failed to record that Resident A had been found on the floor or had suffered an unwitnessed fall, and failed to mention the fall to colleagues at handover.
Findings
This was the first review of a conditions of practice order imposed for 12 months on 15 July 2025. The panel found that no evidence had been provided to show that her insight had improved, and that there was little evidence of compliance with conditions 3, 4 and 5, including no reflective piece and no evidence of training undertaken since the conditions were imposed. It noted information suggesting further alleged concerns of a similar nature to those originally proved. The panel determined that she remained liable to repeat matters of the kind found proved and found continuing impairment on both public protection and public interest grounds. It concluded that no workable conditions could be formulated and replaced the order with a suspension order for 12 months, taking effect at the end of 12 August 2026 under Article 30(1).
