Erasure(struck off the register)
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that Karen Nutbeam, a registered nurse in Surrey, remained impaired when it reviewed a 12-month conditions of practice order imposed in 2025 for shouting at a vulnerable care-home resident. The panel noted she had shown no insight or remediation, had let her registration lapse and did not intend to return to practice, and that conditions were no longer workable. It replaced the order with a striking-off order, taking effect on 24 July 2026.
