Concerning Sarah Neita, occupational therapist (Health and Care Professions Council OT52913).
Decision date: 28 February 2025 · Hearing started 28 February 2025
In plain English
The HCPTS panel reviewed occupational therapist Sarah Neita's longstanding order for record-keeping, clinical follow-up and confidentiality failings. After almost eight years, she provided no current evidence of insight, remediation or safe practice and had stopped engaging. The panel concluded that further restrictions would serve no purpose and struck her off.
Charges
The original case concerned repeated delayed or missing clinical records, failure to follow up a recommended intervention, and removal and retention of confidential children's and family documents after leaving employment.
Findings
After nearly eight years of conditions and repeated reviews, the panel received no current evidence of safe practice, developed insight or remediation. It found continuing impairment, risk of harm and repetition, and concluded that further conditions or suspension would serve no useful purpose. It therefore struck Ms Neita off.
