HCPC determination — substantive hearing
Struck off the register
The regulator’s term: erasure

To that end it may be assisted by the guidance provided in CHRE v Nursing and Midwifery Council and Grant [2011] EWHC 927 (Admin). 127. The Panel began by assessing what the Registrant has done since the Trust made the referral to the HCPC. She had given evidence that she had been suspended and working in a care home as a care assistant.
