Gilvana Da Silva Nogueira
Introduction
Ms Gilvana Da Silva Nogueira is a registered adult nurse who was on the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) register under PIN 99I2615E. On 1 April 2026, the NMC’s Fitness to Practise Committee, sitting as a substantive order review meeting, found that she remained impaired by reason of lack of competence and ordered her erasure from the register, replacing the 12-month suspension imposed in April 2024. The core conduct was her failure to meet competency objectives across four successive structured improvement processes between September 2019 and January 2021, together with charges of not attending a shift, arriving late on more than one occasion, and spending an unacceptable amount of time writing up a patient’s notes.
Background Information
The determination records that she qualified as a nurse in 2002 and worked as a registered adult nurse. The published record does not name her employer, hometown, or any family details, but the charges arose through workplace processes — an informal capability process, a supervision plan, a period of supervised practice, and a formal capability process — indicating sustained concerns about her practice across roughly sixteen months. Her MedicWatch practitioner profile lists the erasure as her most recent outcome, decided on 1 April 2026 by the NMC, and carries the profile status line “Registration status not yet verified”; the bundle contains no later register-check verification date.
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 regulatory findings, not criminal convictions; nothing here is a criminal record unless the determination itself states one, and this determination states none.
The charges against Ms Nogueira arose from her performance during a sequence of formal efforts to remediate her practice. The panel was asked to decide whether she failed to meet competency objectives across four successive structured improvement processes between September 2019 and January 2021: an informal capability process, a supervision plan, a period of supervised practice, and a formal capability process. The objectives covered communication, patient care, discharge planning, clinical care, medication practice, and role-modelling, along with completion of a medicines management booklet. She was also charged with not attending a shift on 28 October 2019, arriving late for shifts on more than one occasion, and, on 6 April 2020, spending an unacceptable amount of time writing up a patient’s notes.
All charges were proved at the original substantive hearing on 3 April 2024. That panel found Ms Nogueira’s fitness to practise impaired by reason of lack of competence and imposed a 12-month suspension order. The determination identifies the persistence of the problems as an aggravating feature: the lack of competence ran across four structured improvement processes spanning over a year, during which Ms Nogueira remained under observation and supervision.
The first review took place on 24 March 2025. The reviewing panel found insufficient remediation, insight or engagement and extended the suspension by a further 12 months.
At the second review, held on 1 April 2026, the panel found that Ms Nogueira had again not engaged with the NMC and had provided no evidence of remediation or insight. It concluded that her continued lack of engagement indicated no realistic prospect of returning to safe practice. The previous reviewing panel had noted her attitude towards attempts to help her improve, and successive panels had found no engagement, no insight, and no evidence of remediation. The panel determined that a striking-off order was the only adequate sanction, replaced the suspension with a striking-off order, and directed that it take effect on 1 May 2026.
Public Reaction and Consequences
The published record contains no press coverage, no statements from patients or colleagues, and no public comment from Ms Nogueira; MedicWatch states that it does not editorialise the regulator’s findings. The concrete consequence recorded is the erasure itself, decided at a review hearing at which, on the panel’s findings, she had engaged with neither the NMC nor remediation. The striking-off followed two suspension reviews in which panels found insufficient remediation, insight or engagement. MedicWatch added its record of the decision on 25 April 2026, listing the outcome as erasure — struck off the register — with the NMC determination as its source.
Current Status
Ms Nogueira is struck off the NMC register. The striking-off order took effect on 1 May 2026, one month after the review decision of 1 April 2026. The published record mentions no interim order alongside the review outcome. Her MedicWatch profile carries the status line “Registration status not yet verified” and directs readers to check the official NMC register for her current registration details. No appeal against the decision and no application for restoration appear anywhere in the published record. On the material published to date, the erasure stands as the final documented outcome of the fitness-to-practise proceedings.
Impact on Their Career/Life
Striking off ends Ms Nogueira’s registration, and with it her ability to practise as a registered nurse in the United Kingdom, closing a nursing career that began when she qualified in 2002. Restoration after findings of this kind is a demanding route: the panel’s conclusion that there was no realistic prospect of her returning to safe practice, after two suspension periods in which she engaged with neither the regulator nor remediation, indicates the scale of what any future application would need to overcome. The published record contains no information about her employment or life after the order takes effect.
