UK healthcare practitioners formally warned
A formal warning is a note on the practitioner's record. It does not restrict practice but tells the public that the regulator considered the conduct to have fallen below expected standards.

The NMC found that Felicity Smith, a registered nurse and senior nurse practitioner at a GP surgery, intimidated and bullied a junior colleague between June and August 2021. On one occasion she raised her hand and threatened to hurt the colleague, and she repeatedly used a derogatory nickname. The panel decided her fitness to practise is impaired but at the lower end of seriousness, and imposed an 18-month caution order.
