    Suspension(suspended from practice)· 6 months

    The GDC tribunal decided that Miss Aydon's fitness to practise as a dental nurse is impaired by misconduct. The Professional Conduct Committee found admitted clinical governance failings as practice manager at a BUPA practice in 2021 and 2022, including problems with infection control, equipment, medicines and staff training. The Committee also found that, when audited, she dishonestly told an investigator she had held a December 2021 staff meeting on the Winter COVID procedure when she had not. It suspended her registration for 6 months with a review, and ordered immediate suspension to cover the 28-day appeal period.
