On Jan. 8, 2024, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a consent agreement between BCCNM and the registrant to address practice deficits that occurred in November 2023, related to the registrant attending work when they were not fit to practice. The registrant was diagnosed with and admitted to having a health condition that was connected with their attendance at work while not fit to practice.
The registrant has agreed to follow the treatment recommendations of their physician that will provide necessary support for them to return to practice safely. The registrant was diagnosed with and admitted to a disability with a causal relationship to the practice issues via an independent medical report and they have agreed to comply with the treatment recommendations.
The registrant has voluntarily agreed to terms equivalent to a limit and/or condition on their practice, including:
a. Regular reports from treating physicians regarding compliance with treatment recommendations; and
b. Disclosure of treatment recommendations to relevant employer representative(s).
The agreement will remain in place for a minimum of 15 months of continuous nursing practice.
The name of the registrant has been withheld in accordance with section 39.3 (4) (a) of the Health Professions Act for the purposes of not identifying a registrant or their personal health information respecting the condition that impaired their ability to practice nursing or midwifery.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public.
