On Jan. 15, 2025, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a consent agreement between BCCNM and the registrant to address concerns that they are experiencing health condition that requires formalized medical monitoring to ensure continuing fitness to practice.
The registrant was diagnosed with and admitted to a disability with a potential to impair nursing practice via an independent medical report and they have agreed to comply with the treatment recommendations.
The Inquiry Committee recognizes that nurses and midwives, like any member of the public, may grapple with health issues that may impact their ability to practice safely, competently, and ethically. BCCNM expects that registrants will work only when they are fit to do so and will remove themselves from practise when they are unwell.
In this case, the registrant has agreed to be medically monitored for a minimum period of 24 months while engaging with their employer's disability office as they continue on their recovery journey.
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.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public.
