I
read this article with interest. Another biomedical scientist has been
struck off. Having been up before the HCPC myself I feel for anyone who faces
one of their hearings. Whilst (on
reflection) it was a fair hearing, it was also perhaps one of the more awful
experiences of my life. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
This
case was interesting though. To quote the newspaper:
“Concerns were raised internally about XXX’s
work in July 2014. Under the organisation’s robust disciplinary procedures she
was investigated for failure to follow correct process across a number of
responsibilities and tasks. These included failure to maintain appropriate
training records and stock taking issues…. at no time did XXX’s actions result
in patient harm. The internal investigation identified there were sufficient
lapses in following correct process that it warranted dismissal and Ms Shah was
dismissed from …”
If
there was no patient harm, just how important were these procedures she
supposedly neglected? Are we losing sight of the bigger picture here?
