Concerning Trey Vergara, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 01K2086O).
Decision date: 9 April 2026 · Hearing started 9 April 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee reviewed a 9-month suspension order imposed on Trey Vergara, a registered nurse, for shouting at and intimidating a colleague in 2021. The panel found his fitness to practise remained impaired and that he had shown limited engagement, no insight, no remorse and no remediation, telling the NMC he considered himself retired. The panel decided to replace the suspension with a striking-off order, which will take effect on 23 April 2026.
Charges
On 12 August 2021 Mr Vergara shouted at Colleague A, told Colleague A he did not like them, banged his fist on the table, pursued Colleague A when they left his office, shouted threats and stared at them, called Colleague A 'stupid' and shouted that he 'will not deal with uneducated idiots'. His actions created an intimidating, hostile, degrading and/or humiliating environment for one or more colleagues. By reason of the above, his fitness to practise was originally found impaired by reason of misconduct.
Findings
This was the first review of a 9-month suspension order originally imposed on 23 June 2025. The panel proceeded in Mr Vergara's absence after finding effective service. It noted that Mr Vergara had told the NMC by email on 11 March 2026 that he considered himself retired from nursing and had no interest in the regulatory process. The panel found his communication unprofessional, dismissive and hostile, and determined he had shown no remediation, no remorse and only negligible engagement. Although the underlying misconduct was a single incident, there was no evidence to mitigate the risk of repetition. The panel found a continuing finding of impairment necessary on public protection and public interest grounds.
