Concerning Elizabeth Fitzpatrick, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 82B0293S).

Decision date: 20 August 2026 · Hearing started 20 August 2026

In plain English

The NMC found that Elizabeth Fitzpatrick's existing interim conditions of practice order should be varied while the allegations remained unresolved. The varied conditions restrict her to one employer and clinical placement, prevent her from being nurse in charge, require indirect supervision and require regular review of risk management, deteriorating patients, observations, record keeping and safeguarding.

Findings

The panel varied the existing interim conditions of practice order and continued the varied order for the remainder of its current term. The conditions restricted Elizabeth Fitzpatrick to one employer and one clinical placement, barred her from being nurse in charge, required indirect supervision, and required meetings and reports covering risk management, deteriorating patients, observations, record keeping and safeguarding. The allegations had not yet been determined.
