Struck off the register
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee reviewed an existing suspension order on Dorothy Onwuteaka and found that her fitness to practise remained impaired. No evidence of insight or practice improvement had been provided despite guidance from multiple previous review panels. The panel determined that a striking-off order was the only sanction adequate to protect the public, to take effect on 12 March 2026 when the existing suspension expired.
