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 Hannah Margaret Horsburgh, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 13I2385S).
Decision date: 15 July 2026
In plain English
The NMC agreed an application from Hannah Margaret Horsburgh, an adult nurse from Cumbria, to be removed from its register. It was alleged that in 2023 she did not adequately monitor a patient's blood sugar levels, recorded false information to conceal a lack of monitoring, and failed to administer IV fluids properly. She accepted the concerns and that her fitness to practise was impaired. No allegation was found proved by a statutory committee.
Charges
It was alleged that during 2023 she did not adequately monitor a patient's blood sugar levels; falsely told a colleague that monitoring had been carried out and provided them with a fictitious reading; on two occasions for two different patients recorded false information in clinical records to conceal a lack of monitoring; and failed to administer IV fluids to a patient properly.
Findings
No allegation was found substantively proved by a statutory committee. Hannah Margaret Horsburgh accepted the concerns and accepted that her fitness to practise is impaired. The Assistant Registrar agreed her application for removal from the NMC register, satisfied that she no longer intends to work as a registered nurse, that the alleged dishonesty was limited to two instances of short-lived, spontaneous conduct, that she engaged in the process and showed meaningful insight, and that the public interest was best served by agreeing the removal. A record of the decision is published for twelve months from 15 July 2026.
