Erasure (struck off the register)
Added to MedicWatch: 7 July 2026Report a correction
What does “struck off the register” mean?
Being struck off (the regulator calls this "erasure") removes the practitioner from the register. They are no longer permitted to practise this profession in the UK. Erasure can be reviewed after a minimum of five years, but is otherwise indefinite.
Concerning Anna Preyzner, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 15B0045C).
Decision date: 3 July 2026 · Hearing started 3 July 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that Anna Preyzner, a registered nurse, remained impaired by reason of misconduct when it reviewed a six-month suspension order imposed in January 2026 for dishonestly recording false colleague temperature readings during Covid-19 safety checks. The panel found no evidence of further insight or strengthened practice and noted she did not intend to return to nursing. It replaced the order with a striking-off order, effective at the end of 17 August 2026.
Charges
The order under review arose from charges that the registrant, a registered nurse, between 27 and 28 March 2021: (a) failed to accurately record one or more falls in relation to Resident A; (b) failed to adequately hand over information to the day staff about Resident A's fall(s); and (c) inaccurately recorded temperature readings for one or more colleagues during Covid-19 safety measures; and that her conduct at (c) was dishonest, in that she knew she had neither taken, observed, nor been told their temperature readings. The original panel found charges 1(c) and 2 amounted to misconduct, by reason of which her fitness to practise was impaired.
Findings
This was the first review of a six-month suspension order imposed on 20 January 2026 for misconduct involving dishonesty. The panel found no new information showing that the registrant had developed further insight or taken steps to strengthen her practice, noted that she had not fully engaged with the NMC, and that she had indicated she does not intend to return to nursing. It found her fitness to practise remains impaired on public protection and public interest grounds, with a real risk of repetition. Concluding that a further period of suspension would serve no useful purpose and would not meet the public interest, the panel replaced the order with a striking-off order, to take effect at the end of 17 August 2026.
