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 Eme S Ufomba, occupational therapist (Health and Care Professions Council OT53882).
Decision date: 12 August 2024 · Hearing started 12 August 2024
In plain English
The HCPTS panel found that Eme S Ufomba's fitness to practise remained impaired after earlier findings concerning delayed medical care and inadequate records. It said she had begun to develop insight but had not yet fully understood the impact of her conduct or completed remediation. Given her progress, the panel replaced her suspension with 12 months of practice conditions.
Charges
The allegation was that Eme S Ufomba failed to recognise a service user's need for medical assessment during a home visit, left the person unattended, did not call an ambulance or alert healthcare professionals, caused delay to treatment and did not record her clinical rationale. The substantive panel found all particulars proved as misconduct.
Findings
The review panel found that Eme S Ufomba had begun to develop insight but had not yet fully understood the effects of her conduct or adequately remedied it. It found her fitness to practise remained impaired on personal and public grounds. Given her progress, it replaced the suspension with conditions of practice for 12 months.
