Florence Ayodele Fayomi
Introduction
Florence Ayodele Fayomi is a nurse who specialised in adult nursing and was registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) under PIN 03A0310O until her erasure from the register in April 2026. A panel of the NMC’s Fitness to Practise Committee found that she had dishonestly told a 999 operator that the care home where she worked had a defibrillator when it did not, had left a resident during a life-threatening emergency, and had failed other vulnerable residents in separate incidents in 2019. Finding her fitness to practise impaired and her conduct serious professional misconduct, the panel directed that she be struck off the register.
Background Information
Fayomi was registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council as a nurse, registration number 03A0310O, with adult nursing listed as her specialty. At the time of the events, she worked at a care home whose residents the panel described as extremely vulnerable because of their age, medical conditions, physical limitations and dependence on nursing staff.
The allegations spanned several months of 2019: an emergency involving Resident A on 24 February 2019, and three further sets of allegations concerning Residents B, C and D in late September 2019. The NMC’s Fitness to Practise Committee heard the case at a substantive hearing that sat from 20 to 29 April 2026 and decided the charges on the balance of probabilities.
The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation
Adjudicated vs. alleged. The findings in this section come from a Nursing and Midwifery Council fitness-to-practise panel determination, which decided the charges on the balance of probabilities. Charges found proved are court-of-record-equivalent regulatory findings; Fayomi was found NOT proved on sub-charges 4(f)–(h), the remaining branches of the charge arising from Resident D’s unwitnessed fall. Panels do not convict; nothing here is a criminal conviction unless the determination itself records one.
The first charge concerned the events of 24 February 2019, when Resident A suffered a life-threatening emergency. The panel found proved that Fayomi told a 999 operator the care home had an automated external defibrillator (AED) when it did not, and said she was going to get the AED although she knew this to be untrue. She was also found to have failed to give the operator clear details, including Resident A’s date of birth and DNAR status, not to have followed the operator’s instructions, and to have left Resident A to attend to another resident’s PEG feed. The panel found she had acted dishonestly, seeking to create the impression that the home had an AED.
The second charge found that, on 22 or 23 September 2019, she failed to turn Resident B every two hours as required by the resident’s care plan. The third charge concerned 26 September 2019, when she attempted to use a hoist to transfer Resident C from the lounge to their bedroom and applied two incontinence pads instead of one.
The fourth charge arose from an unwitnessed fall by Resident D, also on 26 September 2019. The panel found proved that Fayomi did not check Resident D for physical or head injuries, vital signs or pain, and that she inappropriately pulled the resident by the wrists. The remaining sub-charges under this head, 4(f) to 4(h), were found not proved.
A fifth charge alleged a breach of the professional duty of candour, in that she knowingly provided inconsistent explanations to conceal her actions; the panel found this proved, as it did the dishonesty in the 999 call.
Finding the charges proved, the panel concluded that the conduct amounted to serious professional misconduct and that Fayomi’s fitness to practise was currently impaired on grounds of public protection and the wider public interest. Finding no evidence of insight or remediation and a significant risk of repetition, it imposed a striking-off order, with an 18-month interim suspension order to cover the appeal period.
Public Reaction and Consequences
The determination records a series of aggravating factors. The panel noted that Fayomi was in a position of trust and abused it, that there were deliberate breaches of the Code, and that she showed a complete lack of insight into her failings and the risks created. It identified a pattern of misconduct over several months, a failure to work collaboratively with colleagues, and conduct that put residents at risk of serious harm. It further cited her failure to properly engage with the regulatory process and protracted dishonesty, including the breach of the duty of candour.
The consequence was removal from the NMC register: the regulator directed that she be struck off. The decision forms part of the regulator’s public record, and the case was documented by MedicWatch, an independent record of UK healthcare regulators’ decisions, which added the determination to its database on 11 July 2026.
Current Status
Fayomi was struck off the register by a decision dated 29 April 2026, the closing day of the hearing that had begun on 20 April. The striking-off order was accompanied by an 18-month interim suspension order covering the appeal period. MedicWatch’s practitioner profile records her as “Erased from the register at last register check”, last verified against the Nursing and Midwifery Council register on 15 July 2026, with her most recent outcome listed as erasure decided on 29 April 2026.
Impact on Their Career/Life
The striking-off order removed Fayomi from the register of nurses, ending her ability to practise as a registered nurse in the United Kingdom. The panel’s findings placed dishonesty at the centre of the case, both in the account given to the 999 operator during Resident A’s emergency and in the later breach of the duty of candour, and it found no evidence of insight or remediation and a significant risk of repetition. Beyond these findings, the determination does not record the effect on her personal life.
