Twinkle Antwi Baffour
Introduction
Twinkle Antwi Baffour is a UK registered nurse, qualified in 2004 and registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council under PIN 04L0755O, who held dual registration as an adult and a mental health nurse. On 2 April 2026, a panel of the NMC’s Fitness to Practise Committee ordered his erasure from the register — the equivalent of being struck off — at the end of a substantive hearing that had opened on 3 November 2025. The case centred on repeated sleeping on duty during night shifts, failed patient observations, and two findings that he dishonestly falsified medical records while working as nurse in charge at two care homes.
Background Information
The published record shows Baffour qualified as a nurse in 2004 and held registration on the NMC register under PIN 04L0755O, entered as both an adult nurse and a mental health nurse. His recent practice, as described in the charges, was in care homes, where he worked shifts as nurse in charge — the senior nurse on duty, responsible for residents and for supervising junior staff. The record does not name his employers beyond the anonymised labels Home A and Home B, and gives no details of his hometown, training, or family. His MedicWatch practitioner profile records the erasure decision of 2 April 2026 as his most recent published outcome; the profile’s registration status line states it has not yet been verified against the official register.
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 Baffour concerned two separate incidents at two care homes, identified in the determination only as Home A and Home B.
The first alleged incident occurred while he was working at Home B on 16 October 2020, where he was charged with falling asleep in a chair while on duty.
The larger cluster of charges related to the night shift of 1–2 June 2021 at Home A, where he was again working as nurse in charge. The charges alleged that he fell asleep on duty in front of patients; failed to undertake required patient observations between 03:30 and 05:06; inaccurately recorded that those observations had been carried out; and acted dishonestly in falsifying the records to conceal the failure. Further charges alleged that he failed to complete the shift planner adequately, left the ward door open, and left after handover without completing a drug count. He was also charged with administering Lorazepam without recording it, and with copying and pasting entries from the previous shift’s coordination report into the records, acting dishonestly in doing so.
The panel found charges 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13a, 13b and 13c proved. Only one charge failed: charge 10, which alleged administering medication without signing the drug card, was not proved. The panel therefore found two distinct incidents of dishonest falsification of medical records, in 2020 and 2021, affecting vulnerable residents, and concluded that Baffour’s fitness to practise was impaired by reason of misconduct.
In considering sanction, the panel found no mitigating features in the case. The aggravating factors it identified included his abdication of responsibility for residents and failure to support junior staff as the only registered nurse on duty; the presentation of a risk of harm to vulnerable patients by falsifying records and not undertaking care; only limited evidence of insight, remorse or remediation; repeated episodes of dishonesty; and his failure to engage with the NMC as a regulator from the misconduct and impairment stage of proceedings onwards. The panel concluded that his misconduct, including dishonesty affecting vulnerable residents, was incompatible with continued registration, and ordered his erasure from the register, imposing an 18-month interim suspension order alongside it.
Public Reaction and Consequences
The concrete consequence of the hearing was professional: Baffour was struck off the NMC register, ending his ability to practise as a registered nurse in the United Kingdom. MedicWatch added the case to its own public record on 25 April 2026, alongside its practitioner profile for him. No statements from Baffour himself appear in the published record, consistent with the panel’s finding that he stopped engaging with the regulator after the misconduct and impairment stage.
Current Status
Twinkle Antwi Baffour is erased from the NMC register — struck off — by decision dated 2 April 2026, the final day of a substantive hearing that began on 3 November 2025. The determination page does not state the date on which the erasure direction took effect, and the practitioner profile’s registration status had not yet been verified against the official register at the time the record was captured. An 18-month interim suspension order was imposed alongside the erasure decision. The published record shows no appeal against the decision and no application for restoration to the register. His MedicWatch profile lists the erasure as his most recent and only published outcome.
Impact on Their Career/Life
Erasure from the NMC register ends Baffour’s ability to work as a registered nurse anywhere in the United Kingdom; employers and agencies check the register, and a struck-off nurse cannot lawfully use the protected title. Because the panel found repeated dishonesty and no mitigating features, any future restoration application would face a high bar, as regulators treat established dishonesty findings as fundamentally undermining trust in a practitioner. The record is silent on what he has done since: it contains no information about later employment, and his registration status on the public profile had not been re-verified. What is documented is the permanent regulatory consequence — a striking-off on the public record, published by the regulator and by MedicWatch, that follows him for the rest of his working life.
