Concerning Kelly L Madden, biomedical scientist (Health and Care Professions Council BS44595).
Decision date: 15 December 2022 · Hearing started 15 December 2022
In plain English
The HCPTS panel found that biomedical scientist Kelly L Madden remained impaired following a police caution for racially aggravated conduct. With no evidence that she had addressed the behaviour, it concluded that unrestricted practice would undermine public confidence. The panel extended her suspension for six months and warned that continued non-engagement could ultimately lead to removal from the register.
Charges
The case arose from a police caution Kelly L Madden accepted in August 2020 for racially or religiously aggravated intentional harassment, alarm or distress involving threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour towards a neighbour in July 2020.
Findings
The review panel found Kelly L Madden remained impaired on both the personal and public components. It had no evidence that she had reflected, trained, read or taken other steps to address her conduct, and found that allowing an unrestricted return to practice without evidence of remediation would concern the public. It extended her suspension for six months to give her a further opportunity to re-engage and remediate.
