Erasure(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.

Erasure(struck off the register)
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee imposed a striking-off order on Kirsty Victoria James, a registered adult nurse from Cheshire, at a review hearing on 2 February 2026, taking immediate effect. The panel found that she had not engaged with the regulatory process since the original substantive hearing in 2023, had not revalidated, and had provided no evidence of remediation or insight. The original charges included accessing patient records without authority and medication administration failures.
