Concerning Raymond Byron, paramedic (Health and Care Professions Council PA05712).
Decision date: 27 August 2024 · Hearing started 27 August 2024
In plain English
The HCPTS panel found that paramedic Raymond Byron remained impaired because he had provided no evidence that he had remedied record-keeping and patient-care failings found at an earlier hearing. It found that his lack of engagement ruled out conditions and made another suspension pointless. The panel ordered his name struck from the register when his suspension expired.
Charges
The original allegations were that Raymond Byron failed to make adequate records for Patient Z and did not act in the patient's best interests by failing to take him to hospital. A final hearing panel found that the proved matters amounted to misconduct and impaired fitness to practise.
Findings
The reviewing panel found that Mr Byron's fitness to practise remained impaired because he had provided no evidence of remediation. It found that his lack of engagement ruled out conditions of practice and that a further suspension would be pointless. The panel ordered his name struck from the register when the existing suspension expired.
