Interim order imposed (interim restrictions imposed) — 18 months

Findings

At a New Interim Order Hearing, the Investigating Committee panel made an interim conditions of practice order for 18 months. The conditions restrict Ms Pacheco to a single substantive employer (not an agency or bank), prevent her from being the nurse in charge of any shift, require direct supervision by another registered nurse when administering or managing medication, and require monthly meetings with a line manager covering medication administration and management and prioritisation of workload. The order must be reviewed before the end of the next six months and every six months thereafter. The NMC Case Examiners are yet to decide whether there is a case to answer in relation to the allegations.
