NMC imposes interim practice conditions on nurse Takanaka Muroyiwa as inquiry continues

Findings

This was a New Interim Order Hearing before the NMC's Investigating Committee. Mr Muroyiwa was present and not represented. The panel decided to impose an interim conditions of practice order for a period of 15 months. The conditions limit his practice to one single substantive employer with no agency or bank work; require direct supervision for medication administration and management until assessed as competent, and indirect supervision at all other times; prevent him from being the sole nurse on duty or nurse in charge of any shift; and require fortnightly meetings with his line manager, mentor or supervisor covering medication administration and management, escalation of concerns, and prioritisation of workload. The determination records that the NMC's Case Examiners are yet to decide whether there is a case to answer in relation to the allegations; the allegations are not set out in the published document and no findings of fact have been made.
