Sunilkumar Pulickal Sasi

Introduction

Sunilkumar Pulickal Sasi is a registered adult nurse in the United Kingdom who has been struck off the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) register. A Fitness to Practise Committee found his fitness to practise impaired by reason of misconduct and imposed a striking-off order, with an 18-month interim suspension order. The substantive hearing began on 19 May 2026 and ended on 13 August 2026, and the decision is dated 13 August 2026. The whole hearing was held in private under Rule 19 of the NMC (Fitness to Practise) Rules 2004, after an application to that effect was made and accepted, so the substance of the charges is not in the public record. This page states only what that record discloses.

Background Information

Sasi was registered with the NMC as an adult nurse under pin number 20C1081O, and the type of case was misconduct. The hearing ran from 19 May 2026 to 13 August 2026, with the decision dated 13 August 2026. The outcome was erasure — the regulator’s term for being struck off the register — together with an interim suspension order of 18 months. The determination was added to MedicWatch on 17 August 2026. Beyond those facts, the public record is confined to the pattern of findings set out below: the panel’s reasoning on facts, impairment and sanction is not in the public record.

The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation

Adjudicated vs. alleged. The outcome in this case was determined by an NMC Fitness to Practise Committee, which struck Sunilkumar Pulickal Sasi off the register for misconduct. The hearing was held entirely in private, so the substance of the charges is not public. The charge numbers found proved or not proved are public, but their content is not. No details about the conduct itself are asserted or inferred on this page.

What can be said is confined to the verdict on each numbered charge. The published reasons record only that charge 3 was proved by admission, that charges 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e and 2f were proved, and that charge 1 was not proved. That is the factual ledger: nothing in the public record describes what the charges alleged, and nothing of the kind is suggested here.

The structure of the findings is the only public signal about the case’s shape. NMC charges are commonly segmented into numbered allegations with lettered sub-limbs, and panels record outcomes against those numbers. Here charge 1 was not proved, six sub-charges under charge 2 were found proved, and charge 3 was proved by admission — in general regulatory usage, accepted rather than contested. Numbers without content cannot support any inference about the nature of the conduct, and this page draws none.

Public Reaction and Consequences

Because the hearing was private, there is no published evidence, argument or reasoning on which public discussion of the case could draw. What the record shows are the consequences: the committee found Sasi’s fitness to practise impaired by reason of misconduct and imposed a striking-off order, removing him from the register, alongside the interim suspension order.

The case illustrates the transparency trade-off that private hearings create. Fitness-to-practise proceedings are ordinarily held in public so that patients, employers and the profession can see what was found and why. When an application to hear a case entirely in private is accepted, that scrutiny narrows to a bare outcome: here the public can see which charge numbers were found proved, but not what was alleged or why erasure was chosen, because the panel’s reasoning on impairment and sanction is not in the public record.

Current Status

Sasi is struck off the NMC register. Being struck off — erasure — removes the practitioner from the register, and they are no longer permitted to practise the profession in the UK. “Erasure can be reviewed after a minimum of five years, but is otherwise indefinite.” The striking-off order is accompanied by the 18-month interim suspension order; the determination records no appeal outcome.

Impact on Their Career/Life

The immediate effect is the end of Sasi’s registered nursing career in the UK: erasure means he cannot practise as a nurse here, and the removal is indefinite unless reviewed after at least five years and reversed. The interim suspension order overlays the period immediately after the decision. Because the hearing was held entirely in private, even the findings that ended his career cannot be examined in published form.

That is the honest shape of this case. The public record establishes that a registered adult nurse was found impaired by reason of misconduct, that one charge was admitted and six sub-charges proved while one charge was not proved, and that erasure was imposed. Everything else sits behind the Rule 19 decision, and this page asserts or infers nothing about it.
