NMC panel places interim conditions on nurse Johirul Islam Abedin for 18 months

Findings

The panel decided to make an interim conditions of practice order for a period of 18 months. The conditions require Mr Abedin to work with one single substantive employer (not an agency or bank), provide that he must not be the sole registered nurse on duty or the nurse in charge of any shift, require direct supervision by another registered nurse whenever he manages or administers medication until formally assessed as competent, require indirect supervision at all times when working, and require meetings at least every two weeks with his supervisor, mentor or line manager to discuss medicines management and administration. 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.
