What does “voluntary removal from the register” mean?
The practitioner asked to be removed from the register and the regulator accepted the request. This may happen during or after a fitness-to-practise case.
Concerning Jasmine Fletcher, paramedic (Health and Care Professions Council PA40016).
Decision date: 20 February 2024 · Hearing started 20 February 2024
In plain English
The HCPTS panel decided that Jasmine Fletcher could leave the Register under a voluntary removal agreement after she accepted earlier findings of lack of competence and impairment. It found that removal would provide proper public protection and that no wider public-interest issue required the review to continue. The panel directed that the paramedic's name be removed immediately.
Charges
The allegation concerned Jasmine Fletcher's assessment, recognition and treatment of six service users between November 2016 and January 2017, including an incorrect drug administration, missed clinical signs, medicine decisions and an inadequate request for backup. The final-hearing panel proved all factual particulars except particular 7 and found lack of competence and impairment.
Findings
The panel found that Jasmine Fletcher genuinely sought voluntary removal, understood the agreement and accepted the final-hearing findings. It decided that removal would provide proper public protection, equivalent in effect to striking off without the associated stigma, and that no wider public-interest consideration made the agreement inappropriate. It directed her immediate removal from the Register.
