Concerning Jacqueline Morgan, operating department practitioner (Health and Care Professions Council ODP20310).
Decision date: 8 December 2023 · Hearing started 5 December 2023 and ended 8 December 2023
In plain English
The HCPTS panel struck operating department practitioner Jacqueline Morgan off the register following drink-driving and disqualified-driving convictions and allegations that she was intoxicated at work. The hearing was held entirely in private because health and personal matters were inseparable from the case. An interim suspension was imposed for the appeal period.
Charges
Ms Morgan had convictions for drink-driving and driving while disqualified, and was alleged to have consumed alcohol at work or attended work while intoxicated on two dates.
Findings
The Conduct and Competence Committee directed that Ms Morgan be struck off the register. The entire hearing was private because health and personal matters were inseparable from the allegations, so the published decision does not disclose the panel's detailed reasoning.
