Concerning Jayne M Denton, paramedic (Health and Care Professions Council PA01751).
Decision date: 8 January 2024 · Hearing started 8 January 2024
In plain English
The reviewing HCPC panel found that Jayne Denton had not demonstrated remediation or insight into earlier wide-ranging clinical failings. It extended her existing suspension for three months to protect patients while allowing one further opportunity to engage.
Charges
The original case concerned wide-ranging lack of competence in assessing six patients, identifying red-flag symptoms, giving safety-netting advice, recording care and prescribing medicines appropriately.
Findings
At this review, the panel found no evidence of remediation, sufficient insight, relevant training or effective engagement since the earlier suspension. It found a continuing high risk of repetition and current impairment on both personal and public-interest grounds.
