James Mark Allen
Introduction
James Mark Allen is a registered nurse formerly on the register of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), PIN 18B0857E. On 17 February 2026 an NMC Fitness to Practise Committee, meeting over three days, imposed a striking-off order after finding proved a series of charges from 2022: that he hit a colleague on the forehead and called her ‘Polish’, racially harassing her, and that he grabbed, touched and attempted to kiss a second colleague in conduct the panel found was sexually motivated . The panel recorded his fitness to practise as impaired and struck him off the register .
Background Information
Allen was registered with the NMC as a nurse under PIN 18B0857E . His practitioner profile records the outcome “erased from the register at last register check”, lists the 17 February 2026 erasure as his most recent decision, and notes the entry was last verified against the official NMC register on 26 July 2026 . The published record names no employer and gives no biographical detail beyond the PIN and the charges themselves; both the determination page and the profile confine themselves to the regulatory findings . The events proved against him span 30 July 2022, when the conduct toward Colleague A occurred, and 22 December 2022 and other occasions in 2022, when the conduct toward Colleague B occurred .
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 panel found the listed charges proved and recorded impairment on that basis.
In respect of Colleague A, the panel found proved that on 30 July 2022 Allen hit her on the forehead and referred to her as ‘Polish’ . It further found that this conduct harassed Colleague A: it was unwanted conduct related to a protected characteristic, namely race, and had the purpose or effect of violating her dignity and creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for her .
In respect of Colleague B, the proved charges describe a pattern. On 22 December 2022 he grabbed her from behind, grabbed the sides of her face, attempted to kiss her, and said ‘you are so cute’, ‘you are so pretty’ or words to that effect; on one or more occasions in 2022 he put his hands on her waist, touched her neck and/or face, told her she is ‘pretty’ and ‘cute’, and made comments such as ’look at Colleague B, she is so pretty, I he is single’ or words to that effect . The panel found this conduct was unwanted by Colleague B, was sexually motivated in that he sought or derived sexual gratification from it, and was intended to violate her dignity and create an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for her .
The cover page of the determination records the proved charges by number — 1(a), 1(b), 2(a), 2(b)(ii), 3(a)(i) through 3(b)(iv), and 4(a) through 4(c) — and records that fitness to practise was impaired by reason of the misconduct . The hearing began on 13 February 2026 and ended with the decision on 17 February 2026 .
Public Reaction and Consequences
The published record contains no press coverage, public statements or online campaigns connected with the case; the determination page and practitioner profile confine themselves to the regulator’s findings . The concrete consequence is the loss of registration. The panel imposed a striking-off order, erasing Allen from the register on 17 February 2026 . MedicWatch, an independent record service that aggregates publicly published decisions of UK healthcare regulators, added the case to its record on 5 May 2026 .
Current Status
Allen is struck off the NMC register. His practitioner profile records the outcome “erased from the register at last register check”, with the erasure decision dated 17 February 2026 and the record last verified against the official register on 26 July 2026 . The determination page notes that the regulator directed removal from the register, that the decision explains when the direction takes effect and any appeal provisions, and points readers to the official NMC register for current registration status . No appeal, later decision or restoration application appears in the published record .
Impact on Their Career/Life
The striking-off order ends Allen’s ability to practise as a nurse in the United Kingdom; erasure removes the registration that any nursing post requires, and findings of racial harassment and sexually motivated misconduct toward colleagues are among the findings the NMC treats as most serious in restoration decisions . The determination itself gives no information about his employment or personal circumstances after the hearing, and his profile records no later regulatory decisions . His case remains part of MedicWatch’s browsable record of nurse erasures, listed under the outcome “struck off the register” with the decision date of 17 February 2026 .
