Concerning David Landey, paramedic (Health and Care Professions Council PA11272).
Decision date: 20 July 2022 · Hearing started 20 July 2022
In plain English
The HCPC panel approved David Landey's voluntary removal after he admitted allegations concerning deficient emergency assessment and delayed cardiac treatment. It found that removal protected the public and appropriately resolved the case.
Charges
The allegation concerned inadequate emergency care for a patient with chest pain, including incomplete observations and history, failure to recognise a STEMI or apply the PPCI criteria, and transport to a non-PPCI unit that delayed time-sensitive treatment.
Findings
The registrant admitted the allegation, demonstrated insight, had stopped practising and confirmed that he would not return. The panel approved his voluntary removal, finding that it protected the public and served the wider public interest.
