Nursing and Midwifery Council determination — interim orders hearing
Interim restrictions imposed — 18 months
The regulator’s term: interim order imposed
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 Mohammad Abu Awwad, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 20I0634O).
Decision date: 11 March 2026 · Hearing started 11 March 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Investigating Committee found that an interim suspension order should be imposed on registered nurse Mohammad Abu Awwad for 18 months while the NMC continues its investigation. The case has been referred to the Investigating Committee to consider whether his entry on the NMC register was incorrectly made or fraudulently procured. The interim order will be reviewed within six months and every six months thereafter, and may be revoked, confirmed, or replaced with interim conditions of practice.
Charges
The NMC has referred Mr Awwad's case to the Investigating Committee, which will consider whether his entry on the register was incorrectly made or fraudulently procured. The substantive allegations are not set out in this published interim-order determination.
Findings
This was a new Interim Order hearing before the Investigating Committee. The panel directed an interim suspension order for 18 months, to be reviewed at a meeting within six months and every six months thereafter. Once the NMC's investigation is complete, a panel of the Investigating Committee will consider whether Mr Awwad's entry on the register was incorrectly made or fraudulently procured.
