NMC panel imposes interim conditions on nurse Justina Oguama requiring medication supervision

Findings

The panel decided to make an interim conditions of practice order for a period of 18 months, determining the conditions were proportionate and appropriate. The conditions require Mrs Oguama to limit her nursing practice to one substantive employer and not work for an agency or as bank staff, not to administer medication unless directly supervised by a registered nurse until formally assessed as competent to do so independently, to meet monthly with her line manager, mentor or supervisor to discuss medication administration and management and clinical practice, and to submit reports to the NMC before each review. 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 made against her.
