Concerning Jayne M Denton, paramedic (Health and Care Professions Council PA01751).
Decision date: 7 May 2024 · Hearing started 7 May 2024
In plain English
The HCPTS panel decided that Jayne M Denton could leave the Register under a voluntary removal agreement after she accepted that her fitness to practise was impaired by clinical competence failings. It found that removal would protect the public and preserve the published findings and regulatory history. The panel revoked her suspension and approved the agreement, which has the same effect as striking off.
Charges
The allegation concerned Jayne M Denton's assessments, investigations, records, safety-netting advice, clinical knowledge and prescribing for six patients during February and March 2020. The final-hearing panel proved all factual particulars except 8(c) and 8(d), found lack of competence and impairment, and imposed a suspension.
Findings
The panel found that Jayne M Denton had consistently sought voluntary removal, understood its effect and accepted that her fitness to practise was impaired. It found that removal would protect the public, preserve the published findings and serve the wider public interest. It revoked the suspension and approved a voluntary removal agreement equivalent in effect to striking off.
