Stefania Pezzi
Introduction
Stefania Pezzi was a registered nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), registration number 04G0051C, working in Kent, whose fitness-to-practise case centred on dishonesty in a June 2021 job application to Superior Healthcare, in which she omitted a previous nursing role and concealed that she had been dismissed and referred to the NMC. At a review hearing decided on 8 June 2026, the NMC’s Fitness to Practise Committee found her fitness to practise remained impaired and replaced a 12-month suspension order with a striking-off order .
Background Information
Pezzi was registered with the NMC as a nurse under PIN 04G0051C, with a recorded specialty of adult nursing . She was working as a registered nurse in Kent when the events put before the regulator occurred . Beyond her name, registration number, specialty and the outcome of her case, the public pages published by MedicWatch contain little biographical detail: they record no date of birth, no training history and no earlier regulatory findings .
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; no charges against Stefania Pezzi were found not proved — the charges described here were found proved at the original substantive hearing, and the 8 June 2026 meeting reviewed the resulting order rather than re-opening the facts. Nothing here is a criminal record unless the determination itself states one.
The charges found proved at the original substantive hearing were that Ms Pezzi, a registered nurse, in a June 2021 application form and CV to Superior Healthcare failed to provide her full employment history by omitting her employment with Kent Community Health NHS Trust between January and May 2019, and stated she had stepped back from nursing or taken time off when she had in fact worked as a nurse in that period; and that this conduct was dishonest, in that she sought to conceal that she had not completed her probationary period, had been dismissed by the Trust, and had been referred to the NMC .
The decision under review was the first review of a 12-month suspension order imposed by a Fitness to Practise Committee on 25 June 2025 for that dishonesty in a job application. At the review, the panel found Ms Pezzi’s fitness to practise remains impaired on both public protection and public interest grounds. It found no change in circumstances since the original hearing: she had not engaged with the NMC, developed further insight, strengthened her practice or provided any remediation. The panel determined that a further suspension order would not be proportionate given her lack of engagement and the seriousness of the dishonesty, and that conditions of practice were not workable. It noted her PIN had lapsed and that she had said she would not undertake further nursing employment, and replaced the suspension order with a striking-off order under Article 30(1) . MedicWatch’s plain-English summary records that the panel found “no further insight, remediation or engagement” and noted her registration had lapsed before replacing the suspension with a striking-off order .
Public Reaction and Consequences
The immediate consequence was regulatory: a striking-off order replacing the 12-month suspension imposed on 25 June 2025, taking effect at the end of 23 July 2026 . Neither the determination page nor the practitioner profile records any press coverage, public statements or online campaigns connected with the case; both confine themselves to the regulator’s findings and links to the underlying decision . MedicWatch added the case to its record on 8 July 2026 .
Current Status
Pezzi’s most recent recorded outcome is erasure — struck off the register — decided on 8 June 2026 by the NMC, with the review hearing having started on the same day . The striking-off order takes effect at the end of 23 July 2026 under Article 30(1) . Her profile page notes that she was shown as suspended at the last register check, verified against the NMC register on 22 July 2026, and directs readers to the official register for current registration details . MedicWatch’s explainer notes that the decision sets out when the direction takes effect and any appeal provisions .
Impact on Their Career/Life
The erasure removed Pezzi from the register on which her status as a registered nurse depended, and the proved dishonesty finding sat at the centre of the case: the panel found she had sought to conceal a dismissal and an NMC referral in a job application . The determination records that her PIN had lapsed and that she had said she would not undertake further nursing employment . The determination page gives no information about her subsequent employment or personal circumstances, and the profile records no later regulatory decisions . Her case remains part of MedicWatch’s browsable record of nurse erasures, listed under the outcome “struck off the register” with the decision date of 8 June 2026 .
