Concerning Susan D Erive, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 06A0161O).
Decision date: 1 June 2026 · Hearing started 1 June 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that Mrs Erive's fitness to practise remained impaired at a review of her conditions of practice order. She had not engaged with the NMC or shown any compliance, remediation or insight since misconduct found proved in relation to a resident's care and medication practice in 2022. The panel directed that her name be struck off the register, effective 8 July 2026.
Charges
The charges found proved at the original hearing related to 1 October 2022: that Mrs Erive did not prioritise the needs of Resident A, failing to investigate the cause of their pain and confusion, treat them appropriately, escalate their deterioration for medical advice, or act promptly over a catheter change; that she did not manage Resident A's condition appropriately when she pretended to administer a placebo injection; and that she adopted poor medication practice by asking an untrained healthcare assistant to administer medication to Resident B after dispensing it, failing to witness the attempted administration, and failing to comply with the Covert Medication Policy.
Findings
Reviewing the substantive conditions of practice order, the panel found that Mrs Erive had not engaged with the NMC at any stage and had provided no evidence of compliance with the conditions, no reflective material, and no evidence of insight, remediation, training or strengthened practice. It determined there was nothing to indicate the risk of repetition had reduced and that the concerns identified by the original panel remained unresolved. The panel concluded that her fitness to practise remained impaired on both public protection and public interest grounds, and that only a striking-off order would adequately protect the public and maintain confidence in the profession.
