Struck off the register
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee directed a striking-off order against Lea Mary Stewart, a registered adult nurse from West Lothian, on 20 March 2026 at a substantive order review meeting. She had been suspended for nine months from June 2025 over inappropriate access to patient records between March and September 2020, including records of people known to her. The panel concluded she had not engaged with the regulatory process or provided any evidence of insight or remediation, and the striking-off order will take effect at the end of 24 April 2026 when the current suspension expires.
