   Suspension(suspended from practice)· 6 months

   The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee imposed a six-month suspension order on Dhanwati Ramdarass, a registered mental health nurse from Hertfordshire, on 25 March 2026. The panel found that, as the registered provider and nominated individual of a care home as of June 2022, she had failed in her oversight responsibilities, including ensuring up-to-date medication administration training, adequate risk assessments for residents and for food hygiene, and proper safeguarding. The panel concluded vulnerable patients were exposed to a serious risk of harm and that she had limited insight, but accepted significant mitigation including the COVID-19 context and her training. An interim suspension order of 18 months was imposed pending appeal.
