The practitioner asked to be removed from the register and the regulator accepted the request. This may happen during or after a fitness-to-practise case.
Concerning Lauren White, paramedic (Health and Care Professions Council PA46091).
Decision date: 1 December 2023 · Hearing started 29 November 2023 and ended 1 December 2023
In plain English
The HCPTS panel approved paramedic Lauren White's voluntary removal after she admitted patient-care failings and current impairment. The panel found that removal adequately protected the public and that a full hearing was unnecessary. Any future registration application must be considered as though she had been struck off for the admitted allegations.
Charges
Ms White admitted failing to provide adequate assessment and monitoring for one patient and failing to take two patients to accident and emergency by ambulance when it was clinically indicated.
Findings
The panel approved consensual disposal after Ms White admitted the allegations and current impairment. It found that voluntary removal adequately protected the public and that the wider public interest did not require a contested hearing, particularly because any future registration application would be treated as though she had been struck off for the admitted matters.
