NMC panel imposes 18-month interim conditions on nurse Vida Jankaitey during investigation

Findings

At a New Interim Order Hearing, the Investigating Committee panel made an interim conditions of practice order for 18 months. The conditions restrict Miss Jankaitey to one substantive employer with no agency or bank work, prevent her from being the sole nurse in charge of any shift, require direct supervision by another registered nurse when administering or managing medication until assessed as competent, and require meetings every two weeks with a line manager covering medication administration and management and escalating deteriorating patients. The order must be reviewed before the end of the next six months and every six months thereafter. The NMC Case Examiners are yet to decide whether there is a case to answer in relation to the allegations.
