A panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement under which the Registrant agreed to undertakings involving regular monitoring for fitness to practise nursing. The undertakings include robust medical monitoring, including the commitment to abstain from mind-altering substances through committing to a relapse prevention agreement that will remain in effect for at least 36 consecutive months of documented compliance. The Consent Agreement will remain in place for a minimum of 36 months 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 BCCNP which could impact the ability to provide safe patient care; and
- The independent medical assessment identified the Registrant is fit to practice nursing, and provided information regarding compliance with treatment recommendations.
