Nursing and Midwifery Council determination — voluntary removal
Voluntary removal from the register
The regulator’s term: voluntary erasure accepted
What does “voluntary removal from the register” mean?
The practitioner asked to be removed from the register and the regulator accepted the request. This may happen during or after a fitness-to-practise case.
Concerning Claire Bosanquet, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 05K0631E).
Decision date: 23 April 2026
In plain English
The NMC found that adult nurse Claire Bosanquet should be removed from the register by agreement. The Assistant Registrar accepted her application for agreed removal on 23 April 2026. Concerns had been raised about her competence in areas including medication management, record keeping, infection control and patient care, and about a health condition. The matter had been referred to the Fitness to Practise Committee but no allegation had been substantively proved. The decision will be published for twelve months.
Charges
It was alleged that the registrant lacked competence in medication management, record keeping, infection control, time management, patient assessment, patient care and wound care. The registrant accepts she lacked competence in relation to record keeping and medication management; the remainder of the allegations, and some of the specific incidents, were disputed. There was also a concern that she has a health condition capable of impairing her fitness to practise. The matter had been referred to the Fitness to Practise Committee but no allegation had been found substantively proved by a statutory committee.
Findings
The Assistant Registrar agreed the registrant's application for removal from the NMC register under Rule 14. The Assistant Registrar was satisfied that the registrant no longer intends to work as a registered nurse, that the allegations are not likely to result in a striking-off order, that there are no other good reasons requiring further consideration of the allegations, and that the public interest is best served by agreeing the application for removal. The decision will be published for twelve months from 23 April 2026.
