In plain English
The NMC's Investigating Committee decided to impose an interim conditions of practice order on registered nurse Nehmtallah Haddad for 18 months. The panel said the conditions were proportionate and appropriate. They require Mr Haddad to work for a single employer, be supervised at all times, undergo an occupational health assessment, and complete competency assessments in theatre settings. The NMC's Case Examiners have not yet decided whether there is a case to answer. The order must be reviewed within six months.
Charges
The document does not set out the allegations. It records that the NMC's Case Examiners are yet to decide whether there is a case to answer in relation to the allegations made against Mr Haddad, and that the NMC will write to him when the case is ready for the next stage of the fitness to practise process.
Findings
This was a New Interim Order Hearing before the NMC's Investigating Committee; no findings of fact were made on the allegations. The panel decided to make an interim conditions of practice order for a period of 18 months, determining that the conditions were proportionate and appropriate. The conditions require Mr Haddad to work for a single substantive employer rather than agency or bank work, to undergo an occupational health assessment before starting employment as a registered nurse, not to be the nurse in charge or the sole nurse on duty on any shift, to be directly supervised in a theatre setting until assessed as competent in the use of sterile equipment, sterile technique, knowledge of basic surgery instruments and communication, and to be supervised at all times while working. He must meet his line manager or supervisor fortnightly, provide reports to the NMC, and keep the NMC informed about any employment, course of study, clinical incident, investigation or disciplinary proceedings. Parts of the conditions were recorded as private. The order must be reviewed before the end of the next six months and every six months thereafter.
