On Nov. 12, 2024, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a consent agreement between BCCNM and Jordan Gerrard of Nanaimo, to address the unauthorized access of patient records between February and April 2023.
Nurses are only permitted to access personal and health information for purposes that are consistent with their professional responsibilities and are not permitted to access the health records of patients that are not in their care.
The registrant has voluntarily agreed to terms equivalent to a limit and/or condition on their practice, including:
a. A suspension of their nursing registration for seven days.
b. A reprimand.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public.
