Erasure(struck off the register)
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that Darin Keith Burghes, a registered nurse, remains impaired and replaced his existing 12-month suspension order with a striking-off order taking effect at the end of 25 May 2026. The original 2020 incident involved shouting at Patient A, shouting 'bastard' towards her, and banging a glass bottle on the table in her room. The panel found no evidence of insight, remorse or remediation, and a sustained lack of engagement with the regulatory process.
