Added to MedicWatch: 30 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.

Decision date: 27 July 2026 · Hearing started 27 July 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee reviewed a 12-month suspension order imposed on registered nurse Hannah Kargbo in a case concerning lack of competence and health. The panel found that her fitness to practise remains impaired and decided to make a striking-off order, which takes effect at the end of 15 September 2026 under Article 30(1) of the Nursing and Midwifery Order 2001. The meeting was held in private under Rule 19, so the substantive reasons are not in the public record.
Charges
The document records the type of case as 'Lack of competence and Health'. This was a Substantive Order Review Meeting rather than a hearing of charges. An application under Rule 19 of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (Fitness to Practise) Rules 2004 for all matters to be heard in private was accepted, so the substantive charges and the evidence considered are not in the public record.
Findings
The panel reviewed an existing suspension order of 12 months. The cover page records fitness to practise as impaired. The panel decided to make a striking-off order, to come into effect at the end of 15 September 2026 in accordance with Article 30(1) of the Nursing and Midwifery Order 2001 (as amended). Because the meeting was held entirely in private under Rule 19, the panel's reasons for the decision are not set out in the published document.
