On June 1, 2017 the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement. Following investigation into a complaint regarding the Registrant's fitness to practise and narcotics handling practises, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement under which the Registrant agreed to terms that are equivalent to conditions and limits on practise, including:
- Regular monitoring for fitness to practice nursing.
- A limit on narcotic access.
- Regular reports from specialists regarding compliance with treatment recommendations.
- A limit to remain within the same work environment for two years unless otherwise approved by the Inquiry Committee after one year of demonstrated fitness and safe practise.
Disclosure of treatment recommendations to relevant employer representative(s).
The Agreement will remain in place for a minimum of three years of continuous nursing practice.
The reasons for the Inquiry Committee decision are as follows:
- The Registrant provided an independent medical assessment documenting health concerns to CRNBC which could impact the ability to provide safe patient care; and
- The independent medical assessment identified the Registrant as fit to practice nursing, and provided information regarding compliance with treatment recommendations.
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.
