    Suspension(suspended from practice)· 1 year

    The GDC tribunal decided that dental nurse Charlene Pearl Withers' fitness to practise was impaired by reason of misconduct and a conviction. The committee found she was convicted in June 2024 of failing to provide a specimen for analysis, and that she dishonestly failed to declare a 2010 police caution on her 2013 registration application. It suspended her registration for 12 months with a review, and imposed an immediate suspension order.
