Concerning Piotr Nowakowski, paramedic (Health and Care Professions Council PA42789).
Decision date: 12 September 2023 · Hearing started 12 September 2023
In plain English
The HCPTS panel struck paramedic Piotr Nowakowski off the register after repeated reviews of wide-ranging competence failures. He had not engaged with the regulator for more than three years or provided evidence of insight, training or remediation. The panel found a continuing high risk of repetition and concluded that another suspension would not adequately protect the public.
Charges
Mr Nowakowski showed wide-ranging deficiencies in patient assessment, documentation, medicine administration and handover, and failed several competence assessments. The conduct was found to amount to lack of competence rather than misconduct.
Findings
At a third suspension review, the panel found no engagement, insight, reflection, training or remediation and a continuing high risk of repetition and patient harm. It found impairment on personal and public-interest grounds and concluded that further suspension was inadequate, ordering striking off when the existing suspension expired.
