Concerning Evelyn V Bliss, practitioner psychologist (Health and Care Professions Council PYL28302).
Decision date: 30 August 2024 · Hearing started 30 August 2024
In plain English
The HCPTS panel struck practitioner psychologist Evelyn V Bliss off the register with immediate effect. The allegations concerned professional boundaries, safeguarding and opinions given outside her scope of practice. The review hearing was held entirely in private because of a Family Court order and to protect private lives, so the published decision does not give the panel's detailed reasoning.
Charges
The misconduct allegations concerned professional-boundary failures, unprofessional communications, delayed or absent safeguarding action, inappropriate support for contact with a convicted person, and clinical opinions given outside Ms Bliss's scope of practice.
Findings
The Conduct and Competence Committee ordered Ms Bliss's immediate removal from the register. The review was held entirely in private to comply with a Family Court order and protect private lives, so the published determination does not disclose the panel's reasoning.
