On September 13, 2017 a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement following investigation into a complaint regarding the Registrant's fitness to practise and narcotics handling. The terms are equivalent to limits and conditions on practise, including but not limited to:
- A limit on narcotics access, handling and administration.
- Medical monitoring for a term of four years.
- Regular reports from treating physicians regarding compliance with treatment recommendations.
- Disclosure of treatment recommendations to relevant employer representative(s).
- The Agreement will remain in place for a minimum of four years of continuous nursing practice.
The reasons for the Inquiry Committee decision are as follows:
1) The Registrant provided an independent medical assessment documenting a disability that could impact the ability to provide safe patient care; and
2) The Registrant is engaged in her treatment plan and will return to nursing with specific safeguards in place when the independent medical assessment indicates she is fit to do so.
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 the personal health information of the Registrant respecting the condition. The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the undertakings will protect the public.
