Chuba Nwokedi

Chuba has established a strong regulatory practice, consistently earning instructions to appear before and advise professional regulatory bodies, including the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) and the NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council). He adeptly represents registrants while also frequently acting as a case presenter on behalf of regulatory bodies.

Chuba is a trusted advocate in fitness to practise final hearings, substantive order reviews, appeal hearings, and interim order hearings. His experience spans multi-day proceedings addressing complex issues such as allegations of sexual misconduct, violence, dishonesty, and professional incompetence.

Notable Casework:

• HCPC v McEwen:
  Chuba successfully represented a registered paramedic referred to the HCPC Competence and Conduct Panel following a conviction for assault by beating under section 39 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988. Despite the seriousness of the conviction, Chuba skilfully persuaded the panel that issuing a caution was sufficient. He effectively demonstrated that removing the paramedic from practice would not serve the public interest, particularly given the mitigating circumstances and the critical need for experienced healthcare professionals within the system.
