Erasure(struck off the register)
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee imposed a striking-off order on David Kenneth Paul Mckeown, a registered adult nurse from Belfast, on 17 March 2026. The panel found his fitness to practise impaired by reason of a January 2024 conviction at Belfast Magistrates Court for sending grossly offensive or indecent communications, namely online messages referring to sexual activity with children, contrary to section 127(1) of the Communications Act 2003. He had received a one-month suspended sentence. The panel concluded that the conduct was fundamentally incompatible with continued registration. An interim suspension order of 18 months was imposed pending appeal.
