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 Gayle Kathryn Mawdsley, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 96J0613E).
Decision date: 15 April 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Assistant Registrar agreed to the voluntary removal of Gayle Kathryn Mawdsley from the nursing register on 15 April 2026, following her own application of 30 November 2025. The original concern, raised in a self-referral on 18 June 2024, related to a health condition that may have impaired her fitness to practise. No allegation against her was ever substantively proved by an NMC statutory committee. The Assistant Registrar was satisfied that she no longer intends to work as a nurse and that the allegations were not likely to result in a striking-off order.
Charges
On 18 June 2024 the registrant self-referred to the NMC, which gave rise to a concern that she has a health condition capable of impairing her fitness to practise. The matter was referred to the Fitness to Practise Committee but no allegation against the registrant has been substantively proved by an NMC statutory committee.
Findings
On 30 November 2025 the registrant applied for agreed removal from the NMC register. An Assistant Registrar, exercising delegated authority under Rule 14 of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (Education, Registration and Registration Appeals) Rules 2004, agreed to her removal from the register on 15 April 2026. The Assistant Registrar was satisfied that the registrant no longer intends to work as a registered nurse, that the allegations against her are not likely to result in a striking-off order, that there are no other good reasons requiring the allegations to be considered further at this time, and that the public interest is best served by agreeing the application. The decision will be published for twelve months from 15 April 2026.
