Concerning Nicoleta Pavel, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 14E0565C).
Decision date: 5 May 2026
In plain English
The NMC agreed to remove nurse Nicoleta Pavel from the register at her own request on 5 May 2026, while allegations about her management of a care home were unresolved. It was alleged she did not ensure safe care for residents and failed to protect them from abuse and neglect. No allegation was found proved. The NMC's Assistant Registrar decided the public interest was best served by agreeing her removal, noting she no longer intends to work as a registered nurse.
Charges
It was alleged that, in her capacity as manager of a care home, she did not ensure safe care for residents, failed to protect residents from abuse, and failed to protect residents from neglect. No allegation has been found substantively proved by one of the NMC's statutory committees.
Findings
The NMC's Assistant Registrar agreed Nicoleta Pavel's application for removal from the register under Rule 14 of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (Education, Registration and Registration Appeals) Rules 2004. The Assistant Registrar was satisfied that she no longer intends to work as a registered nurse, that the allegations were not likely to result in a striking-off order, that there were no other good reasons requiring further consideration of the allegations, and that the public interest was best served by agreeing the removal. The decision is published for twelve months from 5 May 2026. If she seeks readmission, the matters that led to the agreed removal may be considered further.
