    Erasure(struck off the register)

    The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee imposed a striking-off order on Sunil Mushtaq, a registered adult nurse from Exeter, on 18 March 2026. The panel found his fitness to practise impaired by reason of his March 2025 conviction at Exeter Crown Court for sexual assault upon a female, committed in October 2022 while he was the agency nurse caring for the patient in the emergency department. He received an 18-month suspended prison sentence and is on the Sex Offenders' Register for ten years. The case was concluded by Consensual Panel Determination. An interim suspension order of 18 months was imposed pending appeal.
