Decision date: 8 March 2024 · Hearing started 8 March 2024
In plain English
The HCPTS panel decided that Kleoniki Tzanidou could leave the Register under a voluntary removal agreement after she admitted the substance of a lack-of-competence allegation and accepted that her fitness to practise was impaired. The panel said removal would protect the public and was a proportionate way to conclude the case, then directed her immediate removal.
Charges
The amended allegation stated that, between November 2017 and November 2018, Kleoniki Tzanidou did not provide appropriate treatment to specified patients, did not provide or document adequate clinical reasoning, kept poor patient records and communicated poorly with specified patients. It alleged that these matters amounted to lack of competence and impaired her fitness to practise.
Findings
Kleoniki Tzanidou admitted the substance of the amended lack-of-competence allegation and that her fitness to practise was impaired. The panel found that voluntary removal would protect the public, was not detrimental to the wider public interest and was a proportionate disposal. It approved the agreement and directed her immediate removal from the Register.
