Anna Preyzner

Introduction

Anna Preyzner is a registered nurse who was struck off the register of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) — the professional regulator for nurses in the United Kingdom — at a review hearing decided on 3 July 2026. The removal was the end point of a case that began with charges about her conduct on two days in March 2021, during the Covid-19 pandemic, and led to a six-month suspension in January 2026 for misconduct involving dishonesty. When the NMC’s Fitness to Practise Committee reviewed that suspension, it found no evidence of further insight or strengthened practice and replaced it with a striking-off order, effective at the end of 17 August 2026.

Background Information

The published determination identifies Preyzner as a registered nurse with NMC PIN 15B0045C. It does not record her age, where she worked, or how long she had been in nursing; the record states plainly that its facts are drawn from the publicly published NMC determination and that it “does not editorialise the regulator’s findings”. What the source does explain is the sanction itself. Being struck off — erasure, in the regulator’s own terminology — “removes the practitioner from the register”. A struck-off nurse is “no longer permitted to practise this profession in the UK”, and erasure “can be reviewed after a minimum of five years, but is otherwise indefinite”. Those sentences frame everything that followed: of all the outcomes available to a fitness-to-practise panel, this is the one that ends a UK nursing career.

The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation

Adjudicated vs. alleged. The dishonesty findings were made by an NMC panel on the civil standard and carried through the review. They were never criminally charged or adjudicated in court.

The charges concerned 27 and 28 March 2021. They alleged that Preyzner “failed to accurately record one or more falls in relation to Resident A”, “failed to adequately hand over information to the day staff about Resident A’s fall(s)”, and “inaccurately recorded temperature readings for one or more colleagues during Covid-19 safety measures” — entries in pandemic-era safety checks recording temperatures she had never taken. On the temperature charge, the allegation was expressly one of dishonesty: that she acted “in that she knew she had neither taken, observed, nor been told their temperature readings”. The original panel found charges 1(c) and 2 — the temperature records and the dishonesty attached to them — amounted to misconduct, “by reason of which her fitness to practise was impaired”. The sanction was a six-month suspension order imposed on 20 January 2026; the review decision opens: “This was the first review of a six-month suspension order imposed on 20 January 2026 for misconduct involving dishonesty.”

Public Reaction and Consequences

The determination records no public reaction to the case — no press coverage, no statements from patients or colleagues — and none is invented here. What it records is the consequence, and the reasoning behind it. At the review on 3 July 2026, the panel found “no new information showing that the registrant had developed further insight or taken steps to strengthen her practice”. It noted that she “had not fully engaged with the NMC” and that “she had indicated she does not intend to return to nursing”. Her fitness to practise, the panel found, “remains impaired on public protection and public interest grounds, with a real risk of repetition”.

The panel then weighed the outcome. It concluded that “a further period of suspension would serve no useful purpose and would not meet the public interest”, and replaced the suspension with a striking-off order, to take effect at the end of 17 August 2026. In practical terms, a nurse who had already served most of a six-month suspension, with only weeks left to run, was removed from the register instead — the regulator’s judgment that the problem was not time-limited.

Current Status

Anna Preyzner has been erased from the NMC register, with the striking-off order effective at the end of 17 August 2026. She is no longer permitted to practise as a registered nurse in the UK. Erasure is otherwise indefinite: it can be reviewed after a minimum of five years, and a review is a possibility, not an entitlement. The record gives no indication that she will seek one — the panel noted she does not intend to return to nursing — and it says nothing about what she has done since; a determination of this kind follows the registrant’s fitness to practise, not their later life.

Impact on Their Career/Life

For a nurse, erasure is the terminal sanction: it ends registration, and with it the ability to hold UK nursing roles that require it. The panel’s reasoning makes clear why it chose that outcome here — no developed insight, no steps to strengthen practice, no full engagement with the regulator, a stated intention never to return, and a real risk of repetition. A further suspension would simply have expired; striking off does not. Unless she successfully seeks review after at least five years, the removal is permanent, and the dishonesty findings that produced it remain part of her regulatory record. Beyond that, the determination is silent — it does not say what became of her afterwards, and this page does not speculate.
