What does “practising with restrictions” mean?

Conditions of practice allow the practitioner to keep working but only subject to specific restrictions — for example, supervision, limits on certain procedures, or required reporting to the regulator.

Concerning Allison A Goddard, operating department practitioner (Health and Care Professions Council ODP12480).

Decision date: 13 July 2026 · Hearing started 13 July 2026

In plain English

Operating department practitioner Allison A Goddard was placed under conditions of practice for two years following a private HCPC Health Committee hearing. The panel published an order which confirms the duration, but the conditions and substantive findings are redacted. The published allegation details should therefore not be treated as findings of fact.

Charges

Allegations concerning removal and personal misuse of medications, together with health-related fitness to practise concerns. The medication and health schedules are redacted.

Findings

The Health Committee held the entire hearing in private because the alleged conduct and health concerns were inseparable. The public decision does not disclose the substantive findings or reasoning. The formal order imposes conditions of practice for two years from the operative date; the conditions themselves are redacted.
